Firmware updates are firmware releases that include fixes and enhancements to the receiver
functionality. Firmware updates are released occasionally on the NovAtel web site as they become
available. New firmware must be loaded into the receiver through one of the COM ports. Once loaded,
the receiver reboots and begins operating with the new firmware.
Refer to Transferring Firmware Files on page 43 for descriptions of the Update and OEM
versions.
