4.4 Upgrading the Display
Raymarine occasionally issues software updates for adding new features and
improving product performance. The A60 includes a Software Upgrade Utility for
installing these updates when they become available.
Product updates are generally available on the Raymarine website, under
Customer Service/Software and Firmware upgrades. The update process requires:
• A CompactFlash (CF) memory card. Any card of 8 MB capacity or larger will
usually work. Do not use the Navionics chart card for this procedure.
• A CompactFlash reader/writer, which allows you to move files between your
CF card and personal computer.
• A personal computer, Windows or Mac compatible.
To upgrade your A60:
1. Connect the CompactFlash reader/writer to your computer and load the
CompactFlash memory card into it.
2. Download the update files from the Raymarine web site to your computer,
according to the instructions on the web site.
3. Copy the files from your computer to the root directory of your CompactFlash
memory card. For example, if your CompactFlash card reader is identified by
the computer as drive ‘E:’, open this drive and paste the files there.
4. Remove the CompactFlash card from the reader/writer.
5. Make sure the A60 and DSM25 (if one is installed) are fully connected but
powered OFF. (The DSM25 must be connected for it to be updated.)
6. Insert the CF update card into the A60 chart card reader.
7. Power ON the A60. The following screen appears.
The Upgrade Package Available field displays the contents of the card. Local
Unit Details displays the file versions currently installed in your A60.
