2-3  Updating Software 

 

 

This  section  describes  how  to  update  the  PC  software  and  amplifier  software  (hereafter  referred  to  as 

firmware). 

* For the acquisition of the latest software, contact the nearest Futaba sales office. 

 

2-3-1  Updating PC software 

Execute the installer file. ( Extension name is “msi ”.)   

It is no need to remove the old version software previously installed on PC. 

 

2-3-2  Updating firmware 

 

Step 1:  Select 

“Update firmware” from “System” in the main menu. 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2:  The file specification window appears. 

Select the file and click 

“Update firmware”

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
Step 4:  If the firmware is updated successfully,   

the message shown at right is displayed.   
Press OK to finish. 

 

 

 

 

*  After the firmware is updated, the amplifier restarts. So, even when the above message is displayed, do not 

turn off the power until the amplifier completes the restart. (It takes about 10 seconds.) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3:  Firmware update begins.
