Updating Firmware
Firmware is embedded software in each component that controls functional-
ity. Periodically, new versions of firmware are developed to incorporate addi-
tional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improve-
ments, new versions of the firmware can be uploaded and installed using
the Shure Update Utility. The Shure Update Utility is available for download
from http://www.shure.com/.
Firmware Versioning
When performing an update, download firmware to the receiver first, and
then update transmitters to the same firmware version to ensure consistent
operation.
