Using the Firmware Update Utility Software
The Turnigy 10XC Firmware Update Utility Software enables you to update the charger’s firmware, and
restore Factory Defaults.
Installing the Firmware Update Utility Software
For detailed information on installing the Turnigy 10XC Firmware Update Utility and drivers for the PC
USB Interface (sold separately), please visit the Hobby King website.

Connecting the charger to your computer
* The Turnigy 10XC Firmware Update Utility is a free download. But to actually connect the charger
to the PC and use the application you will require the PC USB Interface. This device also requires
the proper driver to support your version of Windows.
1. If the Firmware Update Utility Software isn’t running, launch it now.
2. Now plug the USB plug into your computer. Windows should locate the device and load the driver
you just installed.
3. Now power up the charger and plug the 3-pin connector into the jack on the charger’s left side. The
black wire should be toward the bottom of the charger’s panel.
4. With COM port set to “Auto” (Firmware Update Utility program lower left corner) watch the
message line just below the program’s menu bar.
If “Waiting to Start” appears, everything is working properly and you are ready to use the program.
If “Checking Com COMx for data” or “No Data from 10XC Charger” doesn’t go away, the
program can’t communicate with the charger. To correct this, unplug the PC interface from the PC
and the charger and begin again at Step 1 above. If problem persists, contact Hobby King
Technical Support.
Updating charger firmware
When you are ready to update the charger:
1. Be sure the charger is connected to the computer, and is powered up.
2. Disconnect all packs from the charger.
3. In the Firmware Update Utility program window, select the firmware you want to install.
4. Click Update Firmware.
5. Wait—and do nothing—until updating is complete.
IMPORTANT:
During firmware downloading, do not disconnect the charger from power, do not disconnect
the charger from the computer, and do not exit the Firmware Update Utility Software. If the firmware
update is compromised for any reason, disconnect the PC interface from the charger and from the PC, re-
boot the computer, cycle power to the charger, then repeat steps 1 – 5 above.
