The LabSat HDD is the only recommended HDD to use with the LabSat 3 system.  The hard drive is available 
as an accessory under the part number LS03HDD. For purchase information contact your local LabSat

Upgrading LabSat 3 firmware  

 

Occasionally Racelogic releases new versions of firmware for LabSat 3, often to introduce new features. 
New firmware can be loaded into the LabSat via the SD card. 
 
The latest firmware upgrade file for LabSat 3 is available on the LabSat website in ‘Customer Area’ section. 

 

 

http://www.labsat.co.uk/firmware    

 

If you need the latest file, download it from the website and copy it to your computer.   

How to upgrade the firmware 

 

 

Copy the downloaded firmware file onto the root of the SD card. 

 

Power the LabSat and wait until the box has finished initialisation. 

 

Insert the SD card containing the upgrade file. 

 

Once the upgrade is complete the LabSat 3 will return to the file screen. 

 

Power cycle the LabSat before resuming normal operation. 

 

When the upgrade has been completed the upgrade file will be erased from the SD card. If the upgrade fails 
for any reason the upgrade file will remain on the SD card and the LabSat 3 retains the previous version of 
firmware. 

 

To confirm the LabSat 3 has upgraded navigate to the ‘About’ section of the menu, this will display the 
current version of firmware the LabSat 3 is running. 

 

If you have any questions regarding the LabSat 3 firmware upgrade procedure, please do not hesitate to
