Install New Firmware
This page provides a summary of the firmware currently installed on the Trimble receiver. You can also use it to install new firmware on the receiver.
You can also view the firmware version installed, by selecting Receiver Status / Identity / Firmware Version.
All data files are deleted when you install new firmware. Before you install the new firmware, ensure that you first download any data files to your computer.
When you upload firmware version 3.70 or later using the web interface, and the receiver's firmware warranty has expired, the message Corrupt Firmware Image may appear when you select Firmware / Install. To confirm the expiry date, check the Firmware Warranty Date on this menu. To resolve this problem, contact your Trimble Dealer to order an extended 12 month firmware warranty to enable new firmware to be loaded.
