The last Firmware Upgrade to the new Firmware Version 3.6 is this Saturday commencing at 1.00 p.m.
Pagers not already upgraded should be switched on during the morning (if not already on, which they should be) with a battery with plenty of life left in it in the pager. Each OTA (Over the Air) transmission may take up to 3 hours depending on how busy Viper [which sends the transmission] may be at the time.
To check whether your pager has Version 3.6, do the following:-
- have pager on (press red and green buttons at the same time until pager boots up)
- press red button - if it shows Messages, press the red button a second time
- "Delete" will be on the screen
- press arrow key "Up" twice
- screen will show Advanced
- press green button
- General Status will be the top option on the screen
- press green button
- third one down is Version. If it shows 3.6 then your pager is upgraded.
Pagers not upgraded - after that members will not gain the full benefit from the pager until it is updated after a lengthy process of collecting, sending and then getting back.
It would be appreciated if all members could check their pagers for Version 3.6 and let me know by email patcorr@alphalink.com.au or phone 9714 8270 that their pagers are upgraded. Could you please do this by or during tomorrow night. I may have to make a few phone calls to people who do not respond but I hope not too many.
All the Best
Arthurs Creek RFB Comms officer
