3. Copy and Paste the latest version RFinder APK from Facebook, DropBox, RFinder forums (or wherever you

to the B1, note where the APK is stored. You can run the APK from any location on the B1.
4. Delete any previously stored APK files from the B1, and disconnect the USB cable from the radio.
5. On the radio, shut down the RFinder app and Uninstall the existing app (finger on the app, drag up
to Uninstall App). If you don't delete the expired app, unwanted remnants may remain. However, if you
install over the old app without removing it, several of the configurations below won't be necessary
as they will already be completed from the previous install.

and enter ONLY your DMR ID. Select Send Parameters, then select Close to close the window.
12. Menu Memories and select Cloud Restore Memories to recover any memories you've previously saved.
Choose OK. Memories are recovered and listed. Go back to Main Screen.
