FJ400 Strobe: Firmware Updates

The FJ400 strobe is designed with a USB-C port to allow for firmware updates only. Future firmware
updates will result in performance enhancements, modified menu options, and improved menu layouts. It
is strongly suggested that you visit

westcott.com/4700

to confirm your strobe has the latest firmware.

Installing the Firmware

1. Visit

westcott.com/4700

and scroll to the Support section. Find and download the latest

firmware ZIP file. (Note: Various browsers may automatically unzip the ZIP file. In this scenario,
skip to Step #3).

2. Unzip the file and open the extracted folder.
3. IMPORTANT: Read ALL FILES located in the extracted folder (i.e. README, Changelog, etc).
4. Ensure the FJ400 is OFF and cooled before removing the battery from the strobe.
5. Connect the USB-A to USB-C cable to the FJ400’s USB-C port.
6. Common operating systems will present the strobe as an external drive device.

a. NOTE: MacOS may display the external device on the desktop or in the Finder window.

7. Locate the .BIN file on your computer and drag the file to the FJ400 (external device).
8. Once the file has been completely copied to the FJ400, EJECT the FJ400 from the computer.
9. Remove the USB-C cable from the FJ400 and reattach the battery.
10. Press the Power | Model button on the FJ400 to initiate the firmware update and confirm

installation was successful by locating the firmware text in the bottom right corner of the screen
during the start-up process.

IMPORTANT

If FJ devices don’t display as an external device after being connected to the computer, then
please disconnect the USB cable from both devices, restart the computer, and restart the
firmware installation process.

It’s recommended that the firmware update installation process be completed only when the
connected computer’s power level is ≥ 50%. Loss of power of any type during this process could
render the FJ400 inoperable and require professional repair.

Removing the USB-C cable from the FJ400 without properly ejecting the FJ400 from your
computer could render the strobe inoperable and require professional repair.

Depending on the operating system and the applications running, copying the firmware from your
computer to the FJ400 may take a few minutes and/or halt the copying process. Should this
happen, close the copy progress window and try again. Further copying issues may require the
computer to be restarted.
