Update Firmware
The Update Firmware option opens the Extron Firmware Loader application. This
application is used to upload new firmware to the connected device (see Downloading
Firmware on page 40 to download new firmware).
NOTE: In order for the Update Firmware option to work, install the Firmware Loader
application (see Downloading Extron Firmware Loader on page 39). Otherwise, the
Update Firmware option is disabled.
To update firmware:
1. From the Tools menu, select Update Firmware or click the icon below the menu
bar. This opens Firmware Loader (if this application is already installed on the connected
PC).

the unit has been unplugged accidentally) or settings change on the device.
