Notes
When modifying settings via XChange 2,
the modified settings are only applied to the
detector when the USB is removed. At this
point, the detector checks for changes in the
database and applies them. If you turn off the detector
instead of unplugging the USB, these settings will not be
applied correctly.
Refer to the Help menu in XChange 2 for more
information on how to use the application to download,
upload and modify your GPZ 7000’s settings.
