HOW TO UPGRADE THE CONSOLE FIRMWARE

IMPORTANT: Upgrading the console firmware

is an advanced procedure. Make sure to read

all instructions before upgrading the console

firmware.

1. The upgraded firmware file will be provided on a

USB drive in a .HEX file format. There should be

only one file on the USB drive. The file must be in

the top level of the drive directory. The file cannot

be within any other folder.

2. Activate the console and select the SYSTEM menu

option (see step 1 on page 20.)

3. Make sure that the USB port on the console is

enabled (see step 4 on page 21).

4. Select the firmware menu option (see step 6 on

page 21). Then, select the SWVER:X.X menu

option on the firmware menu (see page 22).

View and note the current console version number.

5. Insert the USB drive containing the upgraded

firmware file into the USB port on the console.

6. Remove the screw from the battery cover, and then

remove the console from the battery cover.

7. Press and hold the START/Interval button. While

you are holding the START/Interval button, remove

one battery from the battery compartment. Then,

reinsert the battery into the battery compartment

and release the START/Interval button.

The words USB

DETECT will

appear in the

message banner.

If a firmware file

is detected on the

USB drive, the firmware upgrade will begin.

If the console does

not detect the USB

drive, the word

TIMEOUT will

appear in the mes-

sage banner after

approximately 15 seconds. Remove and reinsert

the USB drive into the USB port on the console

and repeat this step.

8. During the firm-

ware upgrade, the

word LOADING

will appear in the

message banner

for approximately

10 seconds.

If the firmware

upgrade is suc-

cessful, the word

COMPLETE will

appear in the

message banner.

After this occurs, the console is using the upgraded

firmware.

9. Reattach the console to the battery cover.

10. Select the firmware menu option (see step 6 on

page 21). Select the SWVER:X.X menu option

on the firmware menu (see page 22). View and

note the upgraded console version number.

11. Restore your custom console settings if desired

(see page 23). During the firmware upgrade,

the console settings may be reset to the manufac-

turer’s default settings.
