V3.01b FLASH Update Instructions:

The updater application will open and you will see a control panel with START and STOP buttons as well as other indications.

You will get the uploading menu and progress will be displayed until the upload is completed.

September 2004 - Special Software Update "Brilliance"

A flaw in the "Brilliance" control software has been found. This control is ONLY on those units that have the HF limiter installed (option 2 or 3) This flaw can be fixed by installing a new EPROM and loading a new Flash version.

The updated EPROM and Flash, along with installation instructions, will be mailed to you after we receive your unit's serial number and mailing instructions. This is the ONLY way to receive this update. Click HERE for the submittal form and instructions.
