#Prerequisites:
Ensure that the target radio is powered off before attaching a Programming Cable (PMKN4128A).
#Procedure:
1). Using a Programming Cable, connect the destination Radio (XiR P3688) to the USB port of the PC.
2). Power on the target Radio.
3). Wait a few seconds after connecting the radio to allow time for the PC to detect the Radio.
4). Read the device, by performing one of the following actions:
- From the menu, select .
- Press CTRL + R.
- Click on the Read button in the Actions Bar.
If multiple Radios are connected, a dialog listing the connected devices will open. Select the target Radio and click OK. A progress bar appears as the radio is read. Upon a successful read, the progress bar disappears and the radio codeplug appears on the Customer Programming Software (CPS 2.0) screen.
