WARNING! Humminbird is not responsible for the loss of data files (waypoints, routes, tracks, groups, snapshots, recordings, etc.) that may occur due to direct or indirect damage to the unit's hardware or software. It is important to back up your control head's data files periodically. Data Files should also be saved to your PC before restoring the unit's defaults or updating the software.
Prerequisites, download instructions and details on the update can be found on the individual pages of our updates found under Support>Software Updates from our main website.
PLEASE NOTE: There are several situations which can cause issues if you are not running the most recent version of software. Examples: Unit Networking and sharing waypoints between units is software version sensitive.
