 Updating the
Firmware
This section describes installing an update to the firmware of
the Scan Module, which must be done before the initial use.
The VERUS PRO unit automatically searches for available
updates for all of the VERUS PRO components whenever it
is connected to the internet. Any updates that are found are
downloaded and stored on the device. However, the update
must be installed in order to complete the process. Firmware
updates increase Scan Module diagnostic capabilities,
typically by adding new tests, new models, or enhanced
applications to the databases. There is no charge for
Firmware updates.
z To update the firmware:
1. Power on the VERUS PRO unit.
2. Connect the Scan Module to the VERUS PRO unit as
follows, refer to Figure 2-2 on page 5 as needed:
a. From the bottom of the Scan Module, gently lift up

important in a shop environment where there may have
been more than one Scan Module operating during the
pairing procedure. If numbers do not match, repeat the
pairing procedure.
10. Tap the Home icon on the VERUS PRO toolbar to return
to the Home screen and begin using your new
VERUS PRO system.

11
Finalizing and Verifying the Setup Software Updates

Software Updates
Updates to the VERUS PRO software are available on the
internet, and the application automatically checks for and
downloads updates on a routine basis. Typically, this occurs
as a background task that goes unnoticed while you are
using the tool. However, the initial update takes considerably
longer and may reduce operating speed if it takes place
while the tool is being used. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that the Display Device be left powered up
and connected to the internet overnight following the initial
setup. Use the AC/DC Power Supply to ensure power is not
interrupted and that the battery will be fully charged.

IMPORTANT:
Service Releases that enhance the functionality of the tool
may become available form time to time. These Service
Releases are always provided free of charge as a service to
our customers.
