Your hand controller will beep to confirm that the connection has been established.

Run the SynScanFirmwareLoader application on your PC. The “HC. Version” button in the 
application window will show you the current version of hardware, firmware and database of 
your hand controller.
These numbers are just for your information, and will not be required for the update. 

Press “Browse” and locate the “SynScanVXXXXAZ.ssf” file on your hard drive. Press "Update” to 
begin updating the firmware.
You can see the update progress below “Update” and “HC. Version” buttons.

Upon finishing the update, the “Update complete” message will appear on the screen. This 
process should take about 30 seconds, although if you are using a USB-RS232 adapter, this may 
take longer. Congratulations on the successful update of the SynScan™ firmware! 

If you receive the "Can not connect to a SynScan hand control" message during the update, make 
sure that your hand controller is properly connected to the PC.

Close any applications that may be using the RS-232 port and try again.

If you receive the "Firmware update failed…" message, restart the hand controller by unplugging 
it from the power supply and plugging it back in. Try running the update again. By default, the 
transfer rate between the hand controller and the PC is set to 115 Kbps. The RS-232C port on 
your PC may not support such high transfer rate. If you are unable to update the SynScan 
firmware, you can easily change the transfer rate by pressing the SETUP key, while your hand 
controller is plugged into a power source.

This will lower the transfer rate to 9.6 Kbps. Upon doing this, a “Lo” icon should appear in the 
bottom right corner on the display. Now, try updating the firmware again. Keep in mind that this 
procedure will also increase the update time (up to 4 minutes).
