Firmware Upgrade Procedure
Firmware upgrades can be downloaded from the Spectra
Precision website in the form of one or more compressed
“.tar.bz2” files. The file(s) provided, as well a the step-by
step upgrade procedure are given in the relevant Release
Note.
Completing a firmware upgrade procedure may take up to 30
minutes. For this reason, it must be run with the receiver
powered from both a fully charged internal battery and the
AC/DC power supply kit. You also need a USB key to make the
upgrade files available to the receiver.
Follow the instructions below to complete the upgrade of your
receiver:
1. Check that the USB key used for the upgrade is not write-
protected and then connect it to your computer.
2. Using Windows Explorer, copy the “.tar.bz2” file(s) to the
root directory of the USB key.
3. Check that there is at least 10 Mbytes of free memory left
on the USB key. The free memory will be used during the
upgrade for decompressing data.
4. Disconnect the USB key from the computer (after taking
the usual safety precautions related to the USB standard).
5. Make sure the receiver you want to upgrade is OFF and
ready for upgrade (i.e. internal battery present and
external AC/DC power supply connected and on).
