Installation Guide

If the firmware is older as the one downloaded from the GeoMax partner Area, it is

recommended to perform an update. To update the receiver firmware, download the

respective *.FW file, copy to the SYSTEM directory on a MicroSD card and insert it into the

Zenith16/40 receiver. Select

Firmware Upload

from the bottom menu. The contents of

the SYSTEM directory are displayed. Choose the required file and click

Upload

to install the

firmware onto the receiver.

The upgrade takes a while. After the upgrade the receiver switches off and on automatically.

Once this is done a message will be shown, that the instrument upgraded the fw

successfully. To check whether the latest version has been successfully installed, the new

firmware version should be displayed in the info panel.
