43 Putting the transmitter into operation
Please note the following:
A receiver RESET will cause ALL receiver settings
- except for binding information - to return to their
factory settings.
Therefore if a RESET is triggered unintentionally,
any custom settings that had been present in the
receiver before the reset will have to be established
again by way of the Telemetry menu.
A deliberate RESET is recommended, especially if
a receiver is to be "transferred" into another model.
This is a rather simple method to eliminate settings
which are no longer applicable. Receiver fi rmware updates are made by way of the
connector located on the side of the receiver and
the help of a PC running under Windows XP, Vista or
Windows 7. The optional USB interface cable needed
for this is Order No.
7168.6 along with adapter cable,
Order No. 7168.6A . The programs and fi les also needed
can be found in Internet on the Graupner website at
www.graupner.de under the downloads for the particular
product.
Notice:
After registering your receiver at https://www.graupner.
de/de/service/produktregistrierung, you will automatically
receive notifi cation of future updates per email.
Updating receiver fi rmware
Notice:
Before any update procedure, be sure to check the
charged status of the receiver's battery. If necessary,
charge the battery before beginning with an update.
Installing drivers 1.
If not already done, install the required driver
software for the USB interface, Order No.
7168.6, as
described on page 39.
Establishing a receiver / PC connection 2.
Connect the USB interface cable, Order No. 7168.6 ,
via the adapter cable, Order No. 7168.6A , with the
"- + T" connector on the receiver. These connectors
are protected against polarity reversal so pay
attention to the small profi les on the sides of
connectors. Do not use brute force, these connectors
should latch in rather easily.
Receiver fi rmware updates
Adapter lead
Order No.
7168.6A
If a central red wire is present,
cut through it.
Attention:
If the adapter cable is still has wires for all
three poles, cut the red insulated wire for the
middle connector pin of the adapter cable, Order
No. 7168.6A.
Afterward, make the USB interface connection to the
PC or laptop by way of the delivered USB interface
cable (PC USB/mini-USB). If the USB interface is
connect properly, a red LED on the interface board
should illuminate for a few seconds.
If not already off, now switch the receiver off.
Firmware update utility program 3.
On the PC, start the "Graupner_Firmware_Update_
Utility_VerX.XX.exe" program with a double-click.
This program is located among the fi les in the
"Firmware-Updater" folder. (At the time of printing for
this manual, this program's current version is 1.18
and it can be started without fi rst being installed.)
