About Firmware Updates
• Firmware updates for the Apollo Twin hardware unit may occasionally be included
within the software to enhance system functionality.
• For optimum results, always update the firmware by clicking "OK" if prompted by
the software.
• A confirmation dialog will appear after the firmware update. After this notification,
power down the Apollo Twin hardware. The first time after power is reapplied, the
hardware will take an extra 20–30 seconds to initialize, after which the firmware
update process is complete.
• The Apollo Twin software only prompts for firmware updates (if available) during
software installation and/or when the UAD Meter & Control Panel application is
launched. Firmware prompts will only appear if the hardware unit is connected
and powered.
Important:
Do not interrupt system power during any firmware update routines.
