Firmware Update 
Instructions
Firmware updates are made with a file downloaded 
from the web site and the DCHT, DCHT/E01 connected 
via USB.
The USB port on the transmitter requires a micro-B 
male plug on the connecting cable. The other end of the 
cable would normally be a USB A-Type male connec-
tor to fit the most common type of USB jack used on 
computers.
UPDAT E
Put the transmitter in UPDATE mode 
by simultaneously holding down 
the UP and DOWN arrow buttons 
on the transmitter control panel 
while powering it up.
Refer to Help in Wireless Designer 
software for instructions.
DCHT
V1.10

Once the Update has completed, 
turn off the transmitter, then turn it 
back on to verify that the firmware 
version on the transmitter LCD 
matches the firmware version 
shown on the web site. The firm-
ware is the second LCD display 
during boot up sequence.
