• by copying the software on a USB stick
To update the B ase Unit software by copying the software on a USB stick

product page and go to tab Downloads
2. Unzip the file and copy the ipk file to a USB stick.

e disabled in the Web Interface.
When downgrading or updating to an older version of the Base Unit software the Buttons need to paired man-
ually to update their software.
Important notice for updating to software version 01.05 and above
Please note that firmware versions 01.04 and above are digitally signed to ra ise security level. To change from an unsigned firmware
version to signed firmware, an intermediate step is r equir
ed. This step is included in firmware version 01.04. As a result, updating
firmw a re version 01.03 to firmware version 01.05 requires first an update from version 01.03 to 01.04, followed by an update from
01.04 to 01.05. W hen updating firmware version 01.04 to higher versions, no sp ecial action is required. Downgrading a firmware
version to an older version does not require an interme
diate step.
