Uncontrolled when printed Rev 01

The firmware install process requires that the device be restarted to commit and run the new

version of firmware. Once completed, G6 will continue to monitor as usual.

WARNING: G6 will NOT monitor during the firmware update installation process and

updates should therefore only take place while your device is in a safe, gas free

environment.

10.2.1 AUTOMATIC FIRMWARE INSTALLATION

Automatic firmware installs take place exclusively when your G6 is docked and assumed to be

in gas free environment where maintenance based operations can be performed.

IMPORTANT: While docked, G6 has a continuous network connection. After a docked bump

test or calibration, G6 automatically verifies whether a new version of firmware has been

downloaded onto the device. If so, G6 initiates the firmware install process after the device is

removed from G6 Dock.

If the device needs to install a new version of firmware following the docked bump test or

calibration, your device will notify you that it will automatically restart in order to update the

device’s firmware. In addition, your G6 will notify you that the firmware has successfully

updated during your device’s start-up sequence.

10.2.2 MANUAL FIRMWARE INSTALLATION

You can manually verify and update your firmware using your device’s Device settings menu.

Use the manual update procedure when you are out of range of a G6 dock and need to install

a new firmware version immediately, or do not have a dock allowing for automatic firmware

installs.

NOTE: Manual installs are only available if a new version of firmware has been downloaded

onto your device, and the new version of firmware has not already been automatically

installed.
