Please fully read this page before attempting to update your Raymarine System. This page contains each step for you to sucessfully update your Raymarine system

IMPORTANT TERMS OF DOWNLOADING SOFTWARE

Firmware update processes are done at your own risk. Before initiating the update process be sure to backup and make copies of all important files.

If the firmware process is interrupted your product may not function properly, therefore do not interrupt the process and ensure the unit is on a reliable power supply. Damage caused by incomplete upgrades will not be covered by Raymarine warranty.

By Downloading the software, you agree to these terms.

Stage 1: Populating the mSD Flash Memory Card with the MFD Software

Note: To avoid potentially corrupting the data on your Navionics chart card, DO NOT copy software update files to your Navionics chart card and DO NOT back up waypoint/route/track data to your Navionics chart card. MicroSD cards are commonly available in most stores selling consumer electronics products. Waypoint, route, track data, and system configuration data can be stored on a microSD memory card which also contains software update files.

• You are NOT required to update the products software versions sequentially. For example, you can go from v6.27 to v14.36
• The mSD (Micro SD) memory cards used with a/c/e/eS/gS Series MFDs should have a memory capacity of no less than 1GB and no more than 32GB.
• The mSD card should be formatted to FAT32. (External link: Instructions)

1. Insert a compatible Flash memory card into the computer's memory card reader or into a memory card reader which has been interfaced to the computer.
2. Select the appropriate software download for your product
3. Upon completion of the download, click on the downloaded ZIP file to open it
4. Extract the contents of the .zip file to a folder on your desktop.
5. Copy all extracted files to the Root of the Flash mSD card (Root is the first level you access when selecting the Flash). Make sure the files are not in any folders on the card
   (See video below for examples. Files will vary depending on update)
   • For example: if your computer has assigned Removable Disk (E:) to your memory card reader/writer, then the software update files should be copied directly to Removable Disk (E:), not to any folders created on the memory card.
   • Note: You are only opening the ZIP file that is downloaded. You cannot open the files contained in the ZIP file, these have extensions such as .dob .pkg .sh .sh.sig.iso with various file names. If you attempt to open these files you will see an error as they are designed to update your Raymarine products and not for use in a Windows, Apple or Linux PC.
6. Remove the memory card from the computer's memory card reader.

Stage 2: The update method

Once the Master MFD has updated, any connected MFD or peripheral will be updated as well.

4. Remove Card and Power cycle the whole system.
   1. It is very important that the SR150 is power cycled, so that the installed software is fully loaded into the product.
5. Once all the devices in the system are updated, please verify that this is correct by going to the following screen:
