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

< Computer >

The software was designed for use on IBM PC, AT, PS/2 and compatible
computers with Conventional Memory capacity of at least 530 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-22(for portable) or a KPG-46(for mobile) 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-22/46 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-22/46 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-56D software requires a destination drive with 1300kB free space.

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

This procedure assumes the hard disk is drive C.

1. Insert the "KPG-56D 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 is A, and the destination drive is
B.

1. Insert the "KPG-56D 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.

operations.

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


5  BASIC OPERATIONS
====================

***[STARTING THE PROGRAM]***

After correctly installing the software, you can now start the program and 
learn the methods for programming TK-760G/762G/768G/860G/862G/868G/260G/
