Flagging update:

Please check if your S1
requires a software update,
especially if you have a new unit
(identifiable by its orange on/off switch
and “Version 2.1” on the display),
which was purchased as of August 2009.

Further information below!


Is this update applicable to my S1?

Yes, if your S1 unit was purchased as of August 2009 and if your unit has an orange on/off switch and is running software version 1.2.3073 or 1.2.3074, it is possible the update is applicable to your S1. Please check your serial number.

This update is not applicable to units with a light-yellow on/off switch.

Nor is this update applicable to units with “Version 2.0” on the starting display.

The flagging update is, also, not applicable to S1s purchased before August 2009 that have been updated.

Serial number:
Check serial number
 

Random S1 units of the latest production run may show an automatic flagging within the fine search boundaries due to undefined impulses.  That is, the S1 unit is flagging a signal even if the user did not press the marking button. The user can readily delete this unexpected flagging so the search can be continued; however, this break within the search process is an unwelcome interruption. ORTOVOX was able to eliminate this unwelcome interruption with a slight software adaptation. Therefore, you can check to see if your unit is potentially able to show this interruption by entering your serial number.

How to locate your serial number and software version:

- Open the S1 and switch it on. The software version is shown on the first screen. Only units with version 2.1 should download the flagging update.
- Wait until the self-control mode is finished (approx. 6 sec.)
- Select “settings” under the MENU button. Press OK.
- Select  “i” under the MENU button. Press OK.
- The first line contains the serial number; the second line contains the Firmware version.

The only versions that need the flagging update are 1.2.3073 and 1.2.3074. This update is not applicable to your S1 if another software version is listed.
