Vertex Standard DMU-2000 General instructions

3/16/10
This procedure is used to update the flash programming for
the DMU-2000.
V4.21 or V5.11 version software is ONLY needed when the DMU-2000 is used with the New
FTdx5000 Transceiver. There is no change from V4.20 or V5.10 when used with the FT-2000/D
or FT-950 radios. If you already have System File [CF1] V0.08 or V0.09 you only need to install
the [CF2] V4.21 or V5.11 application file.
* This is the latest software and is compatible with all three FT-950, FT-2000/D and FTdx5000 series.
Check which version DMU software you have on your unit.
While holding the three buttons [GEN]＋[50]＋[ENT] turn the radio on. The software version will be
displayed in the lower right of the VFO-A window (FTdx5000 version will be shown in the Center
OLED display) for 5 seconds then the radio will start up in normal operation. Example: DMU-2000
software version 0511.
FTdx5000 FT-2000/D
Two types of computers are used in the DMU-2000. You must use the correct software for
your computer.
•If you have version 03xx or 04xx you must down load V0.08/V4.21. If you have V0421 you
have the latest software and do not need to update.
•If you have 05xx you must download V0.09/5.11. If you have V0511 you have the latest
software and do not need to update.
*You may also check the software level on the DMU boot up screen. Turn on the DMU front and rear
main power to boot the DMU processor. IF the YAESU boot up screen shows this small Phoenix BIOS
logo at the lower right of the screen, you have version 05xx and must download V0.09/5.10. If
the Phoenix logo is not shown, you have version 03xx or 04xx you must down load V0.08/V4.20.
SYSTEM (OS) APPLICATION
PC Ver.0.08 Ver.4.21 (03xx or 04xx)
PC Ver.0.09 Ver.5.11 (05xx)
After you confirm the type of software it is very important that you only down load the correct
version from the Yaesu website.
Software Version: 03xx, 04xx or
05xx.
If you already have software Ver.
0421 or 0511 it is not necessary to
update the DMU-2000 again.

CAUTION: Only down load the correct software for your version 0.08/4.21 or 0.09/5.11 for the DMU-
2000. Do not keep both versions on your computer.
Ver. 4.21 or 5.11 CPU implements improvements also includes all previous updates):
•ONLY Changes to support the New FTdx5000 Series Transceiver
Install the data file to PC
1. Down load the DMU-2000 data file [DMU-2000_V008_2-25-10.zip] or [DMU-2000_V009_2-
25-10.zip] from the following website:
http://www.yaesu.com/indexVS.cfm?cmd=DisplayProducts&ProdCatID=102&encProdID=66EA
91711DFB68C03DED4AD35153E12C&DivisionID=65&isArchived=0
2. Save the DMU-2000 data file [DMU-2000_2-25-10.zip] to the desktop on your computer.
3. Unzip and Extract the contents of [DMU-2000_2-25-10.zip] to the desktop of your computer.
4. You will find the CF1 and CF2 folders on your desktop.
The programmer and software are now stored on your computer on the desktop. The files designated
in the last step above are ready to create two CF cards to use in updating your DMU-2000.
*You must have two separate, blank CF cards (32 MB or more) and have a CF card reader slot.
NOTE: Do not copy the folders to the CF cards, only the files (V0.xxx WinZip and md5sum). The
system and the application files must be on separate CF cards. Do not save them to the same CF card.
Be sure the CF card does not contain any previous data or partitions. You may need to make a single
patrician and reformat a previously used CF card.
Now you will transfer each of the needed files to separate CF cards. When you open the CF1 folder
you will see the two files. Copy both system files and paste them to the CF card drive and create a CF
card. Remove the CF1 card and insert another card. Now open the CF2 folder and copy or paste both
application files to the CF card drive and create a CF card.
It is strongly recommended that you mark each CF card as CF1 and CF2 to prevent mixing up the
files. The SYS file (CF1) must be installed before CF2 or the update will not work.
DMU-2000_V008_2-25-10.zip DMU-2000_V009_2-25-10.zip
If you have version 03xx or 04xx, you must
create two cards; one with CF1_V008-sys and
another with CF2_V421-app.
•Open the CF1 folder and copy two files to
CF card 1
•Open the CF2 folder and copy two files to
CF card 2
If you have version 05xx, you must create two
cards; one with CF1_V009-sys and another
with CF2_V511-app.
•Open the CF1 folder and copy two files to
CF card 1
•Open the CF2 folder and copy two files to
CF card 2

After creating CF1 and CF2 cards, follow the instructions below
*We recommend you save to the CF card, any personal settings you want to restore after the update. Please
see the DMU-2000 Data Management Operation Manual for the procedure to save your settings to a CF
card. Map and Time settings will be set to default.
*When you insert the CF card into the slot, please insure that the white side (ridge side) of the CF card
is up. If the CF card is inserted incorrectly, the DMU-2000 may be damaged.
1. Turn off the DMU power switch on the rear panel and wait 1 minute.
2. Connect a keyboard, if one is not already connected.
3. Insert the system Compact Flash Card CF1 (V0.xx-sys) into the DMU card slot.
4. Turn the DMU rear panel power switch on.
5. When the question appears, “CF has system update file, Are you sure to update? (y/n)>”
Please answer yes (y + enter).
6. Wait a minute for the system to check the current version. The program level will be shown on the
monitor display. Answer yes or no (y + enter, or n + enter) from the keyboard to each question of
the install sequence. If the present version and the new version listed on the screen are identical
numbers, you should answer no. (If you answer no, when the screen blanks, remove the CF1 card,
or the system will repeat the sequence.) If the new version is higher, answer yes (y + enter).
7. When programming is complete, the screen will be blank. Remove the CF1 card and Turn the
rear panel DMU power switch off. Wait one minute.
Now you can insert CF2 (app) and Follow the same procedure instructions 1 thru 7:
8. When programming is complete, remove the Compact flash card CF2 (V0.xx-app). Turn the rear
panel DMU power switch off. Wait one minute.
9. Turn on the FT-2000/D, FT-950 or FTdx5000 and the DMU-2000 rear and front power switches,
and confirm the DMU firmware is updated to V4.21 or V5.11 depending on the type of DMU-
2000 computer. Refer to the top of page 1 to check which version DMU software you have on
your unit.
10. You will need to re-enter your map location, clock and other settings if necessary. The updating
process is now complete.
