Updating Firmware

Each Nomad is shipped with the latest firmware version installed. When newer firmware becomes available, it can
be downloaded from the Zaxcom website:
Newer version of Beta software may be found on the Zaxcom Forums:
Upgrading the Firmware
1. Format a Compact Flash card using a PC or Mac.
2. Using a PC or Mac download the new software (NomadProgFile_vX.XX.bin) and copy it to the card.
3. Insure that a set of fully charged batteries are installed or a stable power supply is connected.
4. With Nomad powered down, insert the CF card containing the .bin file into the mirror slot. Make sure only one
.bin file is on the card.
5. Press and hold the STAR key while turning on Nomad.
6. Once the "Preparing to burn ROM" line is displayed, you can release the STAR key.
7. After the "SUCCESS" line is displayed, cycle the power.
8. Verify that Nomad is running the version you just installed in the About Nomad page.
9. After updating the software, it is generally advised to perform a Restore to Factory Defaults.
NOTE: With some updates, it is required to do a Restore to Factory Defaults – if that is the case, you will be
informed to do so in the release notes supplied with the firmware.
