30 PowerBox-Systems − World Leaders in RC Power Supply Systems
13. UPDATE
a) CORE
The CORE transmitter can be updated using either a USB memory stick (1GB – 32GB) or WiFi.
- USB update
If you wish to update the transmitter, the rst step is to download the PowerBox Terminal program from our
website, and install the program on your PC or laptop. Start the program and select CORE Update at top left.
Insert a USB stick in your PC, and follow the on-screen instructions. The USB stick will now be formatted, and
all the essential data copied onto it. Once that is nished, switch your CORE transmitter on and wait until it has
booted up. Now insert the USB stick in the CORE transmitter, move to the Settings System Software
Check menu, and briey press Update. Depending on which version is currently loaded in your CORE transmit-
ter, it is absolutely essential to observe the following procedure, otherwise the Linux system may crash, and you
will need to return the transmitter to our Service department. This problem has been cured with Version 1.6.
- Update from Versions 1.0 and 1.4 to Version 1.6 or higher:
Pressing Update opens a window, and the transmitter invites you to carry out a restart. Do not switch the trans-
mitter off immediately!! It is essential to wait for about 20 seconds, as the les must rst be copied. When this
period has elapsed you can restart the transmitter, and the update will be completed automatically.
- Update from Version 1.5 to Version 1.6 or higher:
Nothing happens when you press Update. Do not press Update a second time – the transmitter is already wor-
king, and copying the les. Simply wait until the transmitter displays the message that you need to restart the
transmitter. You can then restart the transmitter, and the update will be completed automatically.
As of Version 1.6 a Status message relating to the copy process appears immediately, followed by a Complete
message when the copy process is nished.
- WiFi update
The WiFi update is only available from version 2.0. The essential preparation is to set up the WiFi system as
described under Point 14. Access to your router or mobile hotspot must be present.
The rest of the process operates automatically. If you press Update and a connection to your WiFi exists, all the
necessary les will be downloaded from the web and installed. Afterwards the transmitter must be powered
down and then rebooted, exactly as with a USB update.
b) Receiver
Version 1.6 introduces a feature which is unique in the entire RC market: from this version all PBR receivers
(except the PBR-8E) can be updated from the transmitter, provided that they are already bound to it. For this
to work you must rst switch on the model, i.e. the bound receiver. Now navigate to the Settings System
Software Check menu.
