firmware update. It also displays information about number of DOFs
installed, number of configuration stored, and percentage of free memory
for each.
Battery menu option allows the user to set the battery type being used. Alkaline, NiMH and Lithium batteries
all have different discharge curves. Selecting the correct battery type provides the most accurate battery gauge
icon performance. To change the battery type, select the menu option line until the correct type is shown.
HART menu option allows the user to select communication modes of Compatible or Fast. Compatible mode
sets the MFT 4010 as a secondary master (default mode per HART guidelines for handheld communicators).

connected to a PC for updates via DPC Manager (see DPC Manager section in this manual), a DB-9 serial
cable is used. Occasionally a DB-9 Serial cable is encountered that does not have a DTR line. The DTR line is
important to the update process because it is used to initiate and confirm communication between the two
machines. If a DB-9 cable without a DTR line is used, the MFT must be manually placed in the Enter PC
