5.2 Receiver
Version 1.6 introduces a feature which is unique in the entire RC market: from this version all PBR receivers (except the PBR-8E)
can be updated from the transmitter, provided that they are already bound to it. For this to work you must first switch on the mo-
del, i.e. the bound receiver. Now navigate to the
System -> Software -> Check
menu
.
Briefly press Update for one of the bound receivers. The following screen displays the software version which is currently in the
transmitter’s memory. Select the latest version, and wait until the update is complete. If multiple receivers are bound to the trans-
mitter, repeat the procedure with each one.
Don’t hold the transmitter too close to the receiver, as transmission is very poor at a range of less than 50 cm. The transmit-
ter and receiver are designed to operate at long range, and at very close range the input amplifiers may be overloaded. At a
range of 1m to 9km the update process functions without any delay!
NOTE
Important:
if a radio update - for whatever reason - should fail, that is not a problem. Right at the bottom of the Update menu
you will find the
Restore Firmware
button. Disconnect all other bound receivers from their power supply, and re-connect the
receiver which you wish to update. Now press
Restore Firmware
.
The Update procedure itself is the same like a regular
update.
