***[HANDLING OF FLOPPY DISKS]***

Observe the following points when handling the provided floppy disks:

* Never touch the magnetic surface of the floppy disks.
* Keep magnets and magnetic objects away from the floppy disks.
* Do not bend the floppy disks.
* Do not place the floppy disks in dusty, wet, humid, dry, hot, nor cold 
  areas.
* Always insert the floppy disks back into the plastic cases after use.


1  INTRODUCTION
================

KPG-35D software is a tool for programming TK-480 or TK-481 transceivers. 
Using this software, first enter programming data into the appropriate 
computer, then transfer the data to a transceiver.  You can print out that 
data from a printer.  You can also retrieve data from a transceiver to edit 
on the computer.   


***[SUPPLIED ITEMS]***

Your programming software package includes the following:

* 2 floppy disks (3.5", 720 kB)
  KPG-35D PROGRAMMING DISK (program files)
  MANUAL DISK (help files)
* Installation manual


***[APPLICABLE TRANSCEIVERS]***

This programming software supports the following transceivers:

TK-480 (800 MHz)
TK-481 (900 MHz)


***[HARDWARE/ SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS]***

< Computer >

The software was designed for use on IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 and compatible 
computers with RAM (memory) capacity of at least 400 kB.

< Operating system (OS) >

The operating system must be IBM DOS Version 3.1 (or later) or equivalent.

< Communication port >

The computer must have a serial communication port to connect with a 
transceiver.  This port must be compatible with an IBM asynchronous 
communications adapter. You may use the COM1 or COM2 port on the computer.

< Connection cable >

Use a KPG-36 cable to connect the computer with the transceiver.


2  CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT
=============================

1. Switch OFF the power to the computer.
2. Connect the 25-pin connector on the KPG-36 cable to the COM1 or COM2 
   port on the computer.  If the COM port has 9 pins, use a commercially 
   available 9-pin/25-pin adapter.
3. Switch ON the power to the computer.
4. Switch OFF the power to the transceiver.
5. Connect the other end of the KPG-36 cable to the universal connector 
   on the transceiver.
6. Switch ON the power to the transceiver.


3   INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
=============================

After completing all physical connections, you are ready to install the 
programming software. 
The KPG-35D software requires a destination drive with 800kB free space.

***[INSTALLING ON A HARD DISK]***

This procedure assumes the hard disk is used as drive C.

1. Insert the "KPG-35D PROGRAMMING DISK" (source disk) into drive A.
2. Type "A:" then press [Enter].
   "A:\>" appears on the computer display.
3. Type "INSTALL C:" then press [Enter].
   The installation program copies the necessary files from the source disk 
   in drive A to the hard disk.


***[INSTALLING ON ANOTHER FLOPPY DISK]*** 

This procedure assumes the source drive as A, and the destination drive as 
B.

1. Insert the "KPG-35D PROGRAMMING DISK" (source disk) into drive A.
2. Insert a floppy disk (destination disk), that will receive the software, 
   into drive B.
3. Type "A:" then press [Enter].
   "A:\>" appears on the computer display.
4. Type "INSTALL B:" then press [Enter].
   The installation program copies the necessary files from the source 
   disk in drive A to the destination disk in drive B.

***[PROGRAMMING METHODOLOGY]***

This section shows the logical process of five typical programming 
operations.

Note:  When data is transferred from the computer to the transceiver 
       (Program Write) or vice versa (Program Read), the transceiver 
       automatically will enter PC mode.  "PROGRAM" appears on the display.


**[CREATING AND WRITING NEW DATA TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Specify the transceiver model. (Model)
2. Input data. (Edit)
3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)
4. Save the data to a disk. (File/save As)


**[MODIFYING DATA PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Read the desired data from the transceiver. (Program/Read from radio)
2. Modify the data. (Edit)
3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)
4. Save the data to a disk. (File/save As)


**[MODIFYING DISK DATA, THEN WRITING TO A TRANSCEIVER]**

1. Read the desired data from a disk. (File/Load)
2. Modify the data. (Edit)
3. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)
4. Save the data to a disk. (File/save As)


**[CREATING A SOURCE FILE]**

1. Load a data file. (File/Load)
2. Copy the necessary system data from the data file to a source file. 
   (System Merge)
3. Save the source file to a disk. (File/save As)

**[USING SOURCE FILE DATA]**

1. Load a data file. (File/Load)
2. Load a source file. (File/Load) 
3. Copy the necessary system data from the source file to the data file. 
   (System Merge)
4. Write the data to the transceiver. (Program/Write to radio)
5. Save the data file as a source file. (File/save As)

====================

***[STARTING THE PROGRAM]***

After correctly installing the software, you can now start the program and 
learn the methods for programming TK-480 or TK-481 transceivers.

1. Make the directory containing the installed programming software the 
   current directory.
   If you installed the software on a floppy disk, first insert the floppy 
   disk into a drive, then make that drive the current drive.

2. Type "KPG35D" then press [Enter].
   The program starts and the Introductory screen appears.  If an error 
   occurs, try reinstalling the program (see "3  INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE").


***[EXITING THE PROGRAM]***

When you finished programming, close the program correctly rather than 
simply turning off the computer.

1. Press [Alt] to activate the Menu bar.
2. Press the right- or left-arrow key to open the File menu.
   Move the cursor to "eXit" using the up- or down-arrow key, then press 
   [Enter], or simply press the Quick key; capitalized letter in this case 
   "X".  Pressing [F3] also opens this window.
4. Select [Ok] using [SPACE BAR], or the right- or left-arrow key, then 
   press [Enter].  Alternatively, press the Quick key "O" if you prefer.  
   The program closes and the DOS prompt appears.
5. If running the program from a floppy disk, remove the disk from its 
   drive.
6. Switch OFF the power to the computer.
7. Switch OFF the power to the transceiver.


***[INITIAL SCREEN]***

After starting the program, pressing any key clears the Introductory screen 
and opens the Initial screen.

The Initial screen consists of the following three sections:

* Menu bar (top)
* System Information window (center)
* Key summary (bottom)

< Menu bar >

The Menu bar contains the titles of available menus.  The menus are used to 
open windows to edit and/or process data, and to execute commands.

< System Information window >

The System Information window shows various system data currently set.

< Key summary >

The Key summary lists currently available keys.


***[SELECTING AND ENTERING DATA]***

You will select or enter data either while an interactive window is visible 
(prompted input) or while no interactive window is visible (non-prompted 
input).


**[PROMPTED INPUT]**

While using File, Model, Program, Setup, or some Edit menu functions, 
various interactive windows open to prompt you to select or enter 
appropriate data.  Use one of the following methods:

< Arrow keys >

Use the right-, left-, up-, or down-arrow key to select the appropriate 
item, then press [Enter].

< Quick keys >

Enter the capitalized letter to select the appropriate item.  For example, 
press "O" to select "[Ok]".  If you are using a color display, capitalized 
letters appear in a different color from other characters.   

< Keyboard >

Enter the appropriate data using the keyboard, then press [Enter].


**[NON-PROMPTED INPUT]**

When using some Edit menu functions, use one of the following methods to 
select data.

< [SPACE BAR]/ [Shift]+ [SPACE BAR] >

Press to cycle through available choices at the current cursor position.  
Pressing [SPACE BAR] changes selections in one direction; pressing [SHIFT]+ 
[SPACE BAR] changes selections in the opposite direction.

< [F2]/ [Shift]+ [F2] >

Press to cycle through available choices at the current cursor position.  
Pressing [F2] changes selections in one direction; pressing [Shift]+ [F2] 
changes selections in the opposite direction.  In the Key assignment 
window, pressing [F2] opens a list of programmable key functions.
