2.5.3 Updating your Vector Firmware
Even if you will be configuring the Vector using the stick menus, it’s a good idea to keep your Vector firmware
updated, in case we add a feature or resolve an issue that is relevant to your airframe. Our latest software
always has the latest Vector firmware included with it.
To check to see if you have the latest firmware, first check
what firmware version is installed on your Vector, which is
displayed at the bottom of the Vector boot-up OSD screen.
Or, you can check the version by using the firmware update
utility described below. Then, compare your version
number with the latest Vector firmware version we have
released (listed on the software download page on our
website).
To update the Vector firmware, install the latest software,
connect the Vector to USB, click the “Firmware Update”
button in the software (in the bottom row of buttons), and
follow the instructions.
Make sure that your GPS/Mag is connected to your Vector before updating firmware. The firmware on
the GPS/Mag will also be updated automatically, if needed.
Also, note that if you install new software and it detects that the Vector’s firmware needs an update, it will
automatically run the firmware update utility.
2.6 Getting Notified about Important Vector Updates
Eagle Tree updates the Vector firmware and software periodically to add new features or to address issues that
may arise, and will issue important hardware information bulletins as needed. There are two ways to get
notified about these:
1) Subscribe to the Vector update notification thread on RCGroups. Whenever we update the software or
release a hardware bulletin, we will post a note to this thread, and subscribing to it should result in you
receiving an email. Note that this thread will normally be closed, so only we can post to it, reducing the
number of emails you will receive.

2) Follow us or like us on Facebook™. We will post a note on Facebook indicating that new software or
important hardware information has been posted, and you should see that on your Facebook page.
