Note
  • The CS-9700 programming software used with this firmware can be downloaded here.
     
  • To update the firmware
  • 1. Download and unzip the firmware data (for example, 9700E132.dat) and copy it into the “IC-9700” folder that is on your SD card.
  • 2. Insert the SD card with the firmware data into the transceiver.
  • 3. If you are updating the firmware from version 1.11 or earlier, the transceiver will not display a dialog to recommend saving the settings and memories described in step 4-4, so we recommend backing them up on the SD card in case the settings and memories are reset.
  • - If you are updating the firmware from version 1.13 or later, proceed to step 4.
  • 3-1. Display the SD CARD screen in the Menu.
  • 3-2. Touch “Save Setting” on the SD CARD screen to open the SAVE SETTING screen.

  • 4-2. Touch “Firmware Update” on the SD CARD screen to open the FIRMWARE UPDATE screen.
  • 4-3. Touch [▼] to scroll to the end of the screen to read all the precautions, after you read and agree with all the precautions, touch [YES].
  • 4-4. If you are updating the firmware from version 1.13 or later, the confirmation dialog recommends making a backup of the settings and memories, touch [YES].
  • We recommend that you make a backup of them in this step, because all the settings and memories may be reset after updating the firmware.
  • - If you are updating the firmware from version 1.11 or earlier, skip this step, and then the transceiver displays the firmware selection screen.
  • 4-5. After the backup file is made, and the firmware selection screen is displayed, touch the firmware update data (for example, 9700E132).
  • 4-6. Please carefully read all the precautions, and when you want to execute it, touch [Yes] for 1 second to start the firmware update.
  • 4-7. When the update is completed, "Firmware updating has completed.” is displayed, and the transceiver will automatically restart.
