XC Tracer Mini II GPS Firmware Update
Connect XC Tracer Mini II GPS to a computer using a Micro USB Cable and once connected, switch
the device on by briefly pressing the red button until you hear a beep-beep-beep. XC Tracer Mini II
GPS is now running in USB-MSD (Mass Storage Device) mode. XC Tracer Mini II GPS’s internal
Micro SD Card will appear as an external drive in Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder. Download
the newest firmware for XC Tracer Mini II GPS from
www.xctracer.com
and copy the new firmware
using drag and drop to the SD card. Now press the red button briefly and the new firmware will
start to be installed. During installation XC Tracer Mini II GPS will make a few beeps, then delete the
firmware file from the SD card and finally switch off. The new firmware is now installed and the
device is now ready to use.
Important: The information about the firmware version will only be updated once the device has
been started up in normal flight mode.
It’s impossible to install incorrect firmware on the XC Tracer Mini II GPS – all that happens is that
the incompatible firmware will get deleted from the SD card.
Troubleshooting
In the rare event that XC Tracer Mini II GPS doesn’t respond when you push the red button, you can
perform a hard-reset by pressing and holding the red button for approximately 1 minute. The
battery will then get disconnected from the electronics. After that you can restart XC Tracer Mini II
GPS in flight mode, and the device will be functional again.
