4.4 Upgrading the Display
Raymarine occasionally issues software updates for improving product
performance. The A65 includes a Software Upgrade Utility for installing these
updates when they become available.
Product updates are generally available on the Raymarine website, under
Customer Service/Software and Firmware upgrades. The update process requires:
• A CompactFlash memory card. Any card of 8 MB capacity or larger will usually
work. Do not use the Navionics chart card for this procedure.
• A CompactFlash reader/writer. this device allows you to move files between
your CF card and personal computer.
• A personal computer, Windows or Mac compatible is fine.
To upgrade your A65:
1. Download the update file from the Raymarine website to your CompactFlash
card, according to the instructions on the website.
2. With the A65 powered OFF, insert the CF card into the A65 chart card reader.
3. Power the A65 on. The following screen appears.
The Upgrade Package Available field displays the contents of the card. Local
Unit Details displays the file version installed in your A65.
