Zaxcom QRX 235
Upgrading the QRX IFB Firmware (using a IFB100/200)
1. Format a micro SD in the IFB transmitter.
2. With a computer take the formatted card and perform the following:
• Delete the "DELETE.ME" file on the card.
• Download the new Q-OPT software and load it into the card.
• Insert the card into the IFB transmitter.
3. At each QRX:
• Turn 'ON' and go to the IFB EXTENDED MENU.
• Set the IFB MODE to RX (receive).
• Set the IFB FREQUENCY to the same frequency as the IFB transmitter.
• Set the GROUP CODE to the same number as the IFB transmitter.
• Go to the IFB SOFTWARE UPDATE and press the INC key 5 times.
The screen will display Waiting for Program. This indicates the receiver is ready to download the new
version of software. You can do this to all of your units, so they will be updated at the same time.
• Place the QRX within 10' and line-of-sight of the IFB transmitter.
4. At the IFB Transmitter:
• Power up while pressing and holding the MENU key while starting it.
• It will boot up into the extended menu.
• Go to the Send ERX Program page.
• Press the INC key.
• The LCD screen will indicate that it found the program on the card and has started sending it.
NOTE: The IFB-100/200 will continually resend the program until manually stopped.
5. The QRX screen should indicate that it is receiving the program.
6. After the cycle, all of the receivers should be re-programmed. If there is a reception error, the affected
receiver automatically restarts the process with the start of the next download cycle.
7. For those receivers that have completed reprogramming, the screen will display SUCCESS.
WARNING:
ROM During this process, which only takes a few seconds, you MUST NOT turn 'OFF' the unit.
If the program is never fully received, it is safe to cycle the power. In this case, turn 'OFF' the
Programming Transmitter before power cycling the QRX.
8. Once ALL units have displayed SUCCESS, at the Programming Transmitter:
• Press the MENU key to stop the download process.
• Cycle its power.
9. At each QRX unit:
• Cycle the power
• Verify the new firmware version number is displayed.
After each QRX has received its entire program, it will erase and burn its firmware into the
