Hello List Members,
Greetings from Orbit Research!
We are pleased to announce the release of new firmware for the Orbit Reader 20. The firmware package can be downloaded from our website.
Please note that some changes have been made to the download page to help you locate the appropriate package for your unit since the Orbit Reader 20 now ships with a few manufacturing variations, all of which are functionally identical. It is therefore important that you download and install the correct firmware package for your specific unit. Use of the incorrect version may result in the unit becoming unresponsive but it can be restored by loading the correct version. The instructions are available on the download page and also copied here for convenience.
To identify the proper firmware package for your unit, you need to check the version number of the currently loaded firmware on your unit. If your unit does not turn on or if you are not able to read the version number from your device, please contact our technical support team at techs...@orbitresearch.com or 888-606-7248.
