and cooled before removing the battery from the strobe.

6. Common operating systems will present the strobe as an external drive device.
7. Locate the
.BIN
file on your computer and drag the file to the F200 (external device).

IMPORTANT
●
It’s recommended that the firmware update installation process be completed only when the
connected computer’s power level is ≥ 50%. Loss of power of any type during this process could
render the FJ200 inoperable and require professional repair.
●
Removing the USB-C cable from the FJ200 without properly ejecting the FJ200 from your
computer could render the strobe inoperable and require professional repair.
●
Depending on the operating system and the applications running, copying the firmware from your
computer to the FJ200 may take a few minutes and/or halt the copying process. Should this
happen, close the copy progress window and try again. Further copying issues may require the
computer to be restarted.
