Hi Greg,
The menu item "system" was introduced firstly with software version 1.33
that explains why this update option is missing on your device.
With version 1.33 also a CRC check was introduced for all further update
packages.
I do not know the internal structure oft he US package of Version 1.42 in
the dropbox you mentioned. I assume that an simple update directly from
version 1.32 to version 1.42 is not possible, becauseit would skip the
versions 1.33, version 1.40 and 1.41
.
You should first update you device to version 1.33 and then do the next
update step to version 1.42
However, I do not know where you could get and download the US english
update package of VarioUltra version 1.33
Best Regards,
Astrid

Hi Paul and Pavel,
Thanks for the responses.
I have tried copying the update file to a USB stick and then from the stick
to the device as you described but am still getting nowhere. I have tried
several fresh downloads from the dropbox link and have even tried the
process from my wife's Mac using Chrome. I made sure the file was not
unzipped.
AS I mentioned earlier, there is no System option under my Settings. I'm not
sure why, but that means I have to use the shortcut key to start the
download. I don't know if that has anything to do with why it might not be
loading.
Any other ideas of what might be going wrong or things I can try?
Thanks for the help.
Best,
Greg

Yes. First, put it on a thumb drive
Then navigate to the thumb drive in file manager
Copy it to the root of the flash disk
Go to settings
Go to update
You will see it
Click on it
It will then unzip
Then it will install
Kind Regards

Subject: [varioultra] Trouble updating from Firmware 1.32 to 1.42
Hello all,
I have a VarioUltra 40 that is currently running Firmware 1.32. I have
downloaded the Firmware 1.42 update from the dropbox link on the Baum
support page but am not able to get the update to work. I copied the zip
file to VarioUltra Storage using File Explorer in Windows. I cannot find the
System menu in Settings on my display so I used the B7+B8+D3+D6 to start an
update. It appears that it is running and update and my device restarts once
or twice. Once it restarts though, it is still running 1.32 when I look at
the About section under Help.
Can anyone offer any advice?
I also tried copying to an emptyUSB stick and copying from there to the
Flash memory. Again, I had to use the same command though because System is
not showing up under Settings.
Thanks for any help.
Best,
Greg
