Updating the QRX software using a TRX transmitter
1. Format a micro SD card in a TRX transmitter.
2. With a computer take the formatted card and perform the following:

Delete the "DELETE.ME" file from the card.

Download the new QRX software and load it into the card. (QRX-XXX.BIN)
3. Insert the card and a fresh set of batteries into the TRX transmitter.
4. Turn 'ON' the transmitter and all QRXs.
5. At the QRX:

Verify the receiver mode is set to single mode.

Verify encryption is off (ID1 and ID0 are both set to 000)

Set the UHF Frequency to the same frequency as the programming transmitter.

If the receiver has a good connection, the LEDs for the A and B Status Indicators will be green. If they are
red, check that the programming transmitter has zeroes in the encryption code, and the UHF signal
format in both the TRX and QRX are set the same.

From the extended menu go to the software update page and press the INC key.

The screen will display waiting for program. This indicates the receiver is ready to download the new
version. This can be done to several QRXs so they will be updated at the same time.

Place each QRX within 10' and line-of-sight of the programming transmitter. All of the units should
remain motionless to insure they receive a strong and undisturbed signal.
6. At the transmitter:

Press and hold the MENU key while powering up the TRX.

Verify the Allow IFB Remote Control is set to OFF.

Go to the Send QRX Program menu.

Press the INC key.

The TRX will indicate that it found the program on the card and has started sending it. Please note the
transmit process will cycle over and over until manually stopped.
7. Each QRX should indicate it is receiving the program.
8. After the software 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 cycle.
9. If the receiver that have been reprogrammed displays READ RELEASE NOTES.
Press A/B KEY to get rid of the warning.
10. At the Programming Transmitter:

Press the MENU key to stop the download process.

If appropriate, change the Allow IFB Remote Control back to ON.

Cycle its power.
11. At each QRX:

Cycle the power

Verify the new firmware version number is displayed during the boot process

If appropriate, set the Receiver Mode to DUAL
WARNING: After the QRX has received its entire program, it will erase and burn its firmware into the ROM.
During this process, which only takes a few seconds, you MUST NOT turn 'OFF' the QRX.
If the program is never fully received, it is safe to cycle the power.
