■SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

•IBM PC compatible computer with an RS -232C serial port (38400 bps or faster)

•Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98

•Intel i486DX processor or faster (Pentium 100 MHz or faster recommended)

•At least 16 MB RAM and 10 MB of hard disk space

•640⋅480 pixel display (800⋅600 pixel display recommend- ed)

■STARTING SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT

Connect IC-F4GT/GS and PC with the optional OPC-478 and the JIG cable.

Boot up Windows, and turn the transceiver power ON. Click the program group ‘CS-F3G ADJ’ in the ‘Programs’ folder of the [Start] menu, then CS-F3G ADJ’s window is appeared.

Click the TCXO tag.

Click ‘Connect’ on the CS-F3G’s window, then appears IC-F4GT/GS’s up-to-date condition.

Set or modify adjustment data as desired.

■ADJUSTMENT SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Boot up Windows.

- Quit all applications when Windows is running.

Insert the cloning software CD-ROM into the apropriate CD-ROM drive.

Select ‘Run’ from the [Start] menu.

Type the setup program name using the full path name, then push the [Enter] key. (For example; D:\ setup) Follow the prompts.

Program group ‘CS-F3G ADJ’ appears in the ‘Programs’ folder of the [Start] menu.
