Updating my ECO Software using my USB Flash Drive and the ECO 2 Software Update in the Download Center.
When Software Updates are available for your ECO2 device, you will find them posted under the SUPPORT tab on the PRC home page. Click on SUPPORT then under Downloads click Software Updates. Select the proper device, here you will find the latest version of software available.
Read the instructions before beginning the update.
You may want to print this page and then proceed to the update.
To download and install this update you will need:
The ECO and the ECO battery charger. The system software you are currently using in your ECO should be a lower version than the version you want to download. Look at the "System Information" box in the MAINTENANCE MENU to check your current software version.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A Reset to Factory Defaults will automatically be performed during the update process - erasing your vocabulary. If possible, you will want to save your custom vocabulary to a Flash Drive or SD Card prior to preforming the software update. This can be done through the Transfer Memory Menu.
