Update via microSD card (without using a PC)

MyALARM2 firmware can be updated via microSD card formatted with the FAT16 or FAT32
filesystem (purchased microSD cards are usually already formatted this way).
Proceed as follows to update MYALARM2 firmware:
1. Copy the filed called "MYALM2.BIN" containing firmware to a microSD card; the file is
included in the free Easy MyALARM2 software (available for download at www.seneca.it)
and is automatically copied during installation to folder "\Documents\Seneca\Easy
MyALARM2\update".
The file is copied to the main microSD folder.
2. Plug in MYALARM2 (do not use it when battery powered).
3. Insert the microSD card in the specific MYALARM2 slot; a firmware update message will
appear.
4. Press the "OK" key
5. The green led starts to flash at a half second intervals for about 30 seconds. MYALARM2
writes the new firmware in flash memory during this phase.
6. At the end of this phase message "OK: EXTRACT SD CARD" appears on the screen. Remove
the microSD card.
7. If the firmware copied in the microSD card is the same version as the one already installed,
message "FW UP-TO-DATE" will appear on the screen.
8. At this point MyAlarm2 turns off, completes the update procedure (signalled by the green
led flashing for another 10-20 seconds) and automatically restarts.
The firmware update can be checked in two ways:
