Updating Firmware

oped to incorporate additional features and enhancements. To take advantage of design improvements, you can upload and in­
stall new versions of the firmware by using the Shure Update Utility, available on the

Firmware Versions

When performing an update, first download firmware to the receiver, and then update transmitters to the same firmware version
to ensure consistent operation.
The firmware numbering for Shure devices uses the following format: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 1.2.14). At a minimum, all
devices on the network (including transmitters), must have the same MAJOR and MINOR firmware version numbers (e.g.,
1.2.x).

Updating the Transmitter

Download the firmware to the receiver.
2.
Access the following menu from the receiver: Device Configuration > Tx Firmware Update.

Tip: The red alignment LED will turn on when the alignment is correct.
4.
Press ENTER on the receiver to begin the download to the transmitter. The receiver will display the progress of the up­
date as a percentage.
