Upgrading DVR-3901 Firmware
Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to
install newer versions of software on the DVR-3901 module. Pilot,
Co-Pilot, or Navigator software applications are required for this
procedure. You can use either the Discovery or the drag-and-drop
method. When performing the upgrading procedure, check the
appropriate readme file to confirm which files are needed. Use care to
ensure that you upload the correct files to the intended module.
If for some reason the upgrade fails, the module may not respond to
controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the
procedures described in
“Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure” on
page 23 .
