downloaded from the Icom website.
Carefully read the guide, before installing the driver.
Programming information
•
To prevent data loss, you should first read the
transceiver setting data into the CS-52, or copy the
setting data (ICF file) of the microSD card to the
PC, and read the data into the CS-52. Then edit or
enter new software parameters.
•
Before editing or entering new data, make a
backup file onto your PC. A backup file enables
easy restoring even if the setting data is
accidentally deleted.
•
While reading or writing (uploading) the data
through the USB cable,
NEVER
turn OFF the
transceiver or the PC, and
NEVER
disconnect the
USB cable. Otherwise, the data could be lost or
deleted.
•
While reading or writing the data to or from the
microSD card,
NEVER
remove the microSD card
or turn OFF the transceiver. Otherwise, the data
could be corrupted or the microSD card could be
damaged.
Updating the CS-52
The firmware and programming software may be
updated for expansion or improvement of functions.
You can update the programming software to the
latest version by downloading the update program
from the Icom website and installing it.
L
If an error dialog is displayed that indicates the versions
of the transceiver’s firmware and the programming
software do not match, update the transceiver’s
firmware and the programming software to the latest
version.
