Updating the Firmware (manually)
Firmware (FW) is a program that is stored permanently in a device, such as an HR2 receiver. It is not
to be confused with Fathom , the PC software used to communicate with the receiver. Firmware updates
are rare and will occur to either complete a hardware change or occasionally for a significant addition to
functionality.
NOTE:
HR2 receiver firmware can only be updated when connected to Fathom .
IMPORTANT: Ensure that all data are offloaded from the receiver before performing a firmware
update.
Normally, you would perform an firmware update after receiving an automatic firmware update
notification (see
"Automatic Firmware Updates and Notifications", on page 168 ). If you decided to
perform the update later (and canceled the operation), you would be using this procedure to complete the
update.
