How do I update my ZEUS+, ZEUS or VERUS Edge Scan Module Firmware?

Upon starting the Scanner function initially after a software update or upgrade has been installed, a message (e.g. There is an update available for your Scanner Module” ) may be displayed to inform you an update is needed. This message may also appear after pairing the scan module. 

If no message is displayed there are no firmware updates.

To install the scan module firmware update, use the following methods:

Method 1- Automatic

1. Make sure the diagnostic tool is on and has a fully charged battery, or is connected to the AC power supply.
2. Use the supplied USB cable to connect the scan module to the diagnostic tool to supply power to it (See connection image below). The blue LED will light on the scan module when it has power.
3. From the diagnostic tool Home screen select Scanner.
4. Select Update Now when the update available message displays.
   • A “Successfully Updated” message displays once the installation process is complete 
5. Select OK to close the message and return to Scanner operations.
6. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the scan module to the tool.

The scan module now has the latest firmware update, and is ready to use.
