UPdatIng Welder softWare

Orion users are able to receive software and welder setting updates via email . As Orion engineers develop new soft-
ware with more efficient settings and/or features to help users have the very best welding experience, they will place 
the update on the Orion website for users to download .

“I3-2XX-UPDATE-vX .XX .XX .apk”
3 . Plug SD Card into computer then place the
files in the root directory of the SD Card . (Do not place the files into any subdirectory or folder on the SD Card and do 
not rename the update file or the welder will not be able to perform the update .)

5 . Turn the welder on .
6 . Go to the Settings screen, by pressing the icon on the top right of the screen .
