Firmware Update
You can update the firmware of the WS 550 US main controller via the USB port of
WS 550 US using the software delivered along with the device.
- Start the update program of ” WeatherProfessional ” software (Menu ”Tools“,
”Firmware Update“) and follow the instructions of the program.
Note:
If you have started the update procedure by mistake, then the same can be can-
celled at any time up to step 5. If the update mode has also been activated in the
device according to the software instructions, then disconnect the weather station
for a few seconds from the USB and the plug-in mains adapter and remove the
batteries from the device. This will not hamper the functioning of the device; it will
continue to work further with the existing firmware when you restart.
