Upgrade Instructions

  1. Download the appropriate file below and save it to a USB key
  2. With the head unit turned off, plug the USB flash drive into the USB dongle
  3. Hold the [F2] and [Power] buttons down for 3 seconds
  4. The screen will display the message "Scanning USB..."
  5. The screen will then display any available upgrade files that are on the USB drive
  6. Highlight the most recent file (if you have more than one) and press [Ent]

Wait until the screen displays "Upgrade complete ...... Press a key" and you are done

Upgrading from Flight 1 to FlightPro or FlightLite

Existing jobs will not be available once you upgrade, but will remain stored in memory, and therefore reduce your units performance unless deleted prior to upgrading.

Note: The upgrade process is reversible. A unit can be switched back to Flight 1 using the same process as upgrading to the new software.

  1. Export to USB any jobs where you want to keep the polygon outlines for later use
  2. Go to "Unit Setup" (typically page 12)
  3. Select "Delete All". This will remove all job and block data, and free up the internal memory
  4. Now upgrade your unit following the instructions above

Troubleshooting

The unit continues to start up normally and ignores the [F2] and [Power] combination

  • The unit needs to be sent to TracMap for a "U-Boot" upgrade

"No Devices Found" is displayed

  • Ensure the USB key is properly attached to the USB dongle
  • If you are using a USB hub, try plugging the USB key directly in to the USB dongle
  • Try a different USB key - USB keys can differ in size, file formats, and other properties

"Can't List Files" is displayed

"No files found" is displayed

  • Ensure the upgrade file has not been placed in a Folder / Sub Directory
  • Ensure the upgrade file has the a ".tim" extension, some browsers may add an extra extension e.g. "firmware1.tim" may become "firmware1.tim.txt"

"Invalid Product Code" is displayed

  • The upgrade file you have selected does not match the units product code. Try downloading a different upgrade file, you can find your current version from the head units "About" screen

"Bad Checksum" is displayed

  • Either there is a corruption on your USB key or the upgrade file has been fragmented, try formatting the USB key, or performing a "Disk Defragmentation"
