Update Software (F12): After you have downloaded a new software version for the sensor, you can update
the sensor with the new software. Select Update Software and then select the file using the Open dialog
box. You must locate both the *.rgn file and the updater.exe file.
Do not attempt to update the GPS 10 software unless Bluetooth reception conditions are optimal. Devices
such as microwave ovens and 802.11b/g wireless networking gear can interfere with the Bluetooth link,
and may cause the software update to fail.
Note that, failed software update attempts are generally recoverable. If a software attempt fails, identify the
source of interference and try again.
