Software Installation Instructions:
  • Download VR100 PC Host Software and Firmware Release 3.0.3.
  • Disconnect VR100 from the PC.
  • Install the PC Host Software by running "VR100HS_3_0_3.exe" and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Connect the VR100 to the PC and follow the prompts to install new hardware device support. Allow Windows to automatically select the appropriate driver.
  • Launch the PC Host Software and then update the VR100 receiver firmware per the Firmware Upgrade Instructions below.

    We recommend that you install VR100HS V3.0.3 on all PCs, laptops and field laptops prior to updating the VR100 receiver firmware. VR100HS 3.0.3 is the only version that will work with all VR100 receivers running either V2.x.x or V3.0.x firmware.

    NOTE: If you received your VR100 before March 2006 and it hasn't been upgraded, then you will not be able to update the firmware to version 3.0.x. An older version of the PC software must be used until the VR100 is sent to VEMCO for upgrade.

    Ensure you download all data from your VR100s before installing new firmware.

    Ensure that your VR100 receiver is powered using the supplied AC Adaptor during the firmware update process.
