Upgrading software
There may be occasions when it is necessary to upgrade your Sirius SR100
software. The following section gives details of how to carry out this
operation.
Before upgrading your SR100 software, there are 2 pieces of hardware that
are necessary to complete this process:
• A blank CompactFlash (CF) memory cartridge of 8 Megabytes capacity
or larger. Raymarine recommends using SanDisk brand CF cards with
E-Series.
• A CF reader/writer device for your PC or Mac. This device will be used
to copy the files downloaded from Raymarine.com to the CF card.
The CF reader/writer can be an external device (e.g. connected by USB
to your computer), or can be internal/built in.
Downloading the software upgrade
1. Point your web browser to http://www.raymarine.com
2. Navigate to
Software update
pages.
3. Click the relevant link to download the Sirius weather upgrade.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Upgrading your SR100 software:
CAUTION: Software upgrade
While this software upgrade is not intended to erase data
stored in your E-Series displays internal memory, it is
strongly recommended that you perform a backup before
upgrading software should anything interrupt the upgrade
process.
You can use the same CF card used to perform the software upgrade for
backup, or you can use a different card if you wish.
To perform a backup:
1. Power your E-Series display ON. The navigation disclaimer appears.
2. Press OK.
3. Insert the backup CF card into the E-Series card slot.
4. If not already in chart plotter mode, press the PAGE key.
5. Select a page containing a chart plotter application.
6. Press the DATA key.
7. Press the
ARCHIVE AND TRANSFER
soft key.
8. Press the
SAVE TO CARD
soft key.
9. Press
SAVE ALL
. All of your display’s highlighted (e.g. Waypoints)
stored data is copied to the CF card.
To save all stored data it is necessary to do a
SAVE ALL
with
Waypoints highlighted, a
SAVE ALL
with Routes highlighted and a
SAVE ALL
with Tracks highlighted.
The data has now been saved and you may proceed with the software
upgrade.
To upgrade SR100 software:
With your Sirius system and E-Series display powered OFF:
1. Insert a suitable CF card containing the software upgrade into the E-
Series display.
2. Power your E-Series display ON. The Software Update Utility screen is
displayed.
The Sirius upgrade file is displayed in the left hand column. It should be
highlighted, if not use the trackpad and highlight it.
