Forcing the receiver into Monitor
mode

The GPS receiver is supplied with the latest
version of the receiver firmware already installed.
If a later version of the firmware becomes
available, use the WinFlash utility to upgrade the
firmware on your receiver.

You can also upgrade the receiver through the
web interface (see

Configuring the receiver using

a web browser, page 77

). If your receiver has

access to the Internet, then whenever Trimble
releases new firmware your receiver will check
and display the new firmware version number in
the Web browser. You can then decide to install
the newer firmware from the Web browser.

Firmware updates are available to download
from the Trimble website. Go to

www.trimble.com/support.shtml

and select the

link to the receiver that you need updates for and
then click Downloads.
