Checklist...

Before starting - there are several requirements needed to ensure a successful software update via USB:
You need a Windows powered PC running Windows XP(32 bit), Windows Vista (32 bit) or Windows 7 (32 bit). 64 bit Windows systems are not currently supported in this process. Mac OS systems are not supported in this process.
You will need a USB lead. Depending on your radio, this will either be a USB A to B lead o a USB A to Mini B lead.

Make sure you remove all batteries and battery packs before updating your Pure product. Your Pure product must be running on mains power while performing a software update.
Make sure the software update you download is the correct software for your PURE product, and that you are not back dating your current software version. Compare your product's current software version with the new version before installing.

OK that’s the checklist done. If you have all of the above in place then you should have no problems installing new software on your Pure product.
