Pam, Providing your OzFlarm serial number is greater than 200 (obtained when connected to flarmtool OR the last 3 digits on label on base of OzFlarm), you can 'recover' by holding the little switch up AS YOU CONNECT THE POWER. If the serial number is below 200 it is likely the recover function is not implemented. You would then have to send it to SwiftAvionics 07 3879 4005. (Not expensive and they do a quick turnaround). It is possible that loading a later release (i.e. when 5.04 is released) will work as automatic updating to later version doesn't require the 'recover' function. I have seen this work several times. I have had several OzFlarms sent to SwiftAvionics and they always do a hardware RX and TX sensitivity check which is really worthwhile. Once you've got the Ozflarm going again, the Flarm website provides a 'range-analysis' IGC file check that is very good for testing aerial problems.

Hold the little switch up instead of button. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Pam Kurstjens Sent: Monday, 2 May 2011 10:57 AM To: 'Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.' Subject: [Aus-soaring] Flarm trouble We have updated our old type OzFlarm to 5.03 and it does not work anymore. When flying, it has two red lights on all the time Tx-Rx and GPS). When I try to open it in Flarm Tool, it does not work, the only option available is 'recover'. When I try this, a page opens where it says something like 'hold button down until update begins'. What button is this? Does anyone have any suggestions? Pam
