Update Software - Humminbird Onix Opeartion Manual

U S
PDATE OFTWARE
As you build your Humminbird network, it is important to keep your control head and accessories software up to date. Accessories
such as i-Pilot Link, 360 Imaging, SM1000/2000/3000 (Sonar Black Box), and Ethernet Switches are updated through the ONIX and
ION control heads.
The Software Update Guide can be downloaded from your online account at humminbird.com. If you have questions
about the software update process, contact Humminbird Customer Service.
Preparation: We recommend that you read this section completely before starting any software updates. Control heads take
approximately 10 minutes to update, and each control head on the network must be updated individually. Accessories take
approximately 3 minutes to update.
Supplies: In addition to your Humminbird equipment, you will need a PC with Internet access and a blank SD card. If you have an
ION, you can use a USB stick for the instructions in this guide.
