c&P-little alerted from original to fit this site.

1). Turn your 2700 "OFF" via rear switch.

2). Connect the RS232C null modem cable to the receiver and Com1 port of your computer. (Use Com2 if not Com1 is not available). Note: 2500 used a straight serial cable for downloads, THIS SERIAL CABLE WILL NOT WORK!!!. You must use a Null Modem serial cable, or a straight serial cable with a "null" adapter.

3). Plug in the receiver, Turn your 2700 "ON" via the rear switch, and see that the “On” is indicated on the LED on the receiver.
4). Run the latest loader from the files section.
5. Click the App File only button, browser and select the “latest update” file, example
X-87BL_051213_140_au_api then click the Open button.
(download and extract the latest file for 2700 in the download section)


6. Double check and make sure the cable is securely connected.
7. Click the Download button, wait until the “Download Completed!!” is displayed. Watch the LED on the receiver, it should reboot itself, wait until the “On” display.
8). Wait for unit to finish flash, DO NOT INTERRUPT!
9). When receiver reboots and displays “On” wait a few more secs until you see the "Download Complete" message on your pc. Many people unplug too soon!
You are now done with the software update.
