YAESU FT1DE (01) PDF MANUAL

Please be sure to confirm the model and the version of your transceiver before starting the update. Writing incorrect firmware to the transceiver may cause abnormal operation or failure. This firmware is specifically for the FT1DR/DE and is not compatible with the FT1XDR/DE.

After updating the firmware, a “reset-all” will be executed for the FT1DR/DE, which will delete all saved data. It is essential to back up your registered data using a microSD memory card or write it down before proceeding.

You must check which version of the radio you have and use the correct update software. The destination is marked on the box serial number label.

DST: USA version covers North and South America [FT1D_MAIN_ver***(USA)]

DST: EXP/AUS/EU/CHN covers all other countries [FT1D_MAIN_ver***(EXP)]

AC adapter PA-48 series or SAD-11B

CAUTION! When using the SCU-18 or SCU-19 data cable, install the SCU-18 or SCU-19 driver software before attempting to update the firmware.

Installation procedure:

Extract the downloaded zip file, and save the data contained inside the zip file to any desired location.

Uninstallation procedure:

Delete the folder that is opened by the update program. The operation will end if the opened folder is deleted since no data will be written to the registry and system folder.

1. Start the Update Program:

Double-click the “FT1D_MAIN_verXXX(YYY).exe” (YAESU icon) file. If the “User Account Control” screen appears, click the [Yes] button. The “YAESU Firmware Update Program” will start.

2. Configure the Program:

Before writing, make sure to check the transceiver Model and the Destination (Type) shown in the program window match your device. Select the COM Port number that was assigned when you installed the SCU-18 or SCU-19 programming cable. Click the [Update] button. The update preparation procedure window appears.

3. Prepare the Transceiver:

Follow these steps to make the FT1DR/DE ready for the update:

1. Turn off the FT1DR/DE and remove the battery and AC adapter from the transceiver.

2. Remove the rubber cap at the back of the main body.

3. Move the program switch to the writing mode position (upward).

4. Connect the PC Connection Cable (SCU-18 or SCU-19) to the DATA terminal on the right-side surface of the transceiver, and connect the other end to your PC.

5. Connect the AC adapter to a wall outlet and then insert the plug into the FT1DR/DE EXT DC IN terminal.

4. Execute the Firmware Transfer:

On the YAESU Firmware Update Program screen on your PC, press [OK]. The firmware transfer will start and the update will execute. This takes about four minutes.

CAUTION! Do not turn off the PC power supply, or the transceiver during the update. The transceiver may not function normally if the firmware transfer is interrupted during the update.

5. Complete the Transfer:

When the firmware update completes, a message “Firmware Update is complete.” appears. Click the [OK] button. A window with post-update instructions will appear. If the update is canceled or fails, a “Firmware Update was canceled” message will appear; in this case, you must repeat the steps from the beginning.

After the firmware has been successfully transmitted, follow these steps:

1. Disconnect the AC adapter from the transceiver.

2. Disconnect the data cable from the DATA terminal and the computer.

3. Move the program switch at the back of the main body to the normal operating mode position (downward) and then cover up the switch with the rubber cap. (The FT1DR/DE will not work if the switch is not returned to the operating mode.)

4. Connect the AC adapter plug to the FT1DR/DE EXT DC IN terminal.

5. Press and hold the power switch for over one second to turn the power ON. All-reset will be executed. You will hear a beep sound and the call sign input guidance screen appears.

6. Input a callsign for your transceiver using the numeric keys.

7. Press the PTT switch. The call sign sets and the frequency screen appears. Caution: When the screen is displayed, proceed to the next step. Operation of the keys or dials may cause abnormal operation.

8. Press and hold the power switch for over one second to turn the power OFF.

9. To check the firmware version, press and hold the [BAND] key while turning the transceiver ON.

10. When the display lights up fully, press the [BAND] key and check the Version No. displayed.

11. If the Version No. has been updated, the update was carried out correctly. Press and hold the power switch for over one second to turn the power OFF.

12. Press the Exit button on the program screen of the PC to end the program.

Follow these steps if the transceiver becomes inoperable:

1. Disconnect the AC adaptor from the transceiver.

2. While pressing and holding [Dx], [GM], and [ENT] keys simultaneously, connect the AC adaptor. The transceiver turns on and you will hear a beep sound.

3. After you hear a beep sound, release the [Dx], [GM], and [ENT] keys. “ALL RESET PUSH F KEY!” appears on the display.

4. Press the [F] key. You will hear a beep sound and the call sign input guidance screen appears.

5. Input a Callsign for your transceiver. Input the callsign with the numeric keys.

6. Switch between the alphabet and numeric keys to input the call sign.

7. Press the PTT switch. The call sign sets and the frequency screen appears.

8. Proceed to the step for checking the firmware version.
