Upgrade via USB

A user may choose to use this method instead of Internet Software Upgrade if a network connection is not available or the power was removed from the radio during Internet software upgrade, the radio needs to have an upgradeable binary within the Flash and you need an upgrade.exe for the binary.

You also need a cable to connect the radio to a PC. Not all releases are provided with suitable .exe upgrade files.

It is important that the USB cable should only be connected during the actual upgrade, and should be removed once the upgrade is complete.

1.Start the upgrade.exe utility on the PC.

2.Utility will ask you to run the Software upgrade wizard on the Wi-Fi radio.

3.If the radio is not yet in upgrade mode (showing the text “Waiting for PC wizard…”), enter the Software upgrade mode by removing the power, then holding down the keys <skip backwd> and <skip fwd> while turning the radio on again.

4.The upgrade will automatically start and takes approximately

2 minutes. Upon completion, the radio will automatically reboot and load the new software.
