Upgrading weather receiver software
The following section gives details of how to carry out an upgrade of your
SR50/SR100 weather receiver software.
Note: Upgrades made to the SR50 can take approximately 20 Mins.
Before upgrading your weather receiver software, 2 pieces of hardware are
necessary to complete this process:
• A blank CompactFlash (CF) memory cartridge of 8 Megabytes capacity
or larger. Raymarine recommends using SanDisk brand CF cards.
• A CF reader/writer device for your PC or Mac. This device will be used
to copy the files downloaded from Raymarine.com to the CF card.
The CF reader/writer can be an external device (e.g. connected by USB
to your computer), or can be internal/built in.
