FIRMWARE UPGRADE
The embedded software in the ES3 (the firmware) can be updated (e.g., when new
features are added or maintenance releases are made available). Updated
firmware and the PC application required to install updates will be available from
distributors or may be downloaded from the Micro Audiometrics web site.
Firmware load is done via the ES3 USB interface. In order to install new firmware,
the ES3 must be placed in update mode by holding down the {Menu} key as the
instrument is powered on by pressing the {On} key. Once the firmware update is
completed, the ES3 will return to normal operational mode.
Note: If the ES3 is inadvertently put into Update Mode, it will remain in
that mode until the firmware is updated or until the instrument power is
disrupted (e.g., by unplugging the wall cube and/or removing at least
one battery).
