This hotfix (8.0.1) addresses a known issue in the 8.0 BETA firmware where certain modules could fail to download their show script and arm. On an affected module, you'll see its ARM LED stay off and the 18R2's ARM light keep blinking, never going solid.
IMPORTANT: This only applies to equipment running the 8.0 BETA firmware. If you do a normal test run and all of your modules arm (the ARM light on your remote goes solid), you do not need this update. For the full self-check and background, see Known Issue — COBRA 8.0 BETA Firmware: Some Modules May Not Arm.
What was fixed
Modules affected by the 8.0 BETA script-download issue now download their script and arm correctly.
Who needs this
Only customers on the 8.0 BETA who have a module that fails the arm test described in the known-issue article above. If your test run arms cleanly, no action is needed.
How to update
Apply the 8.0.1 update to both your 18R2 remote and your modules using either method below.
Option 1 — COBRA Reprogramming Software (CRS), recommended
Use CRS with your COBRA Wireless Reprogrammer to apply the update. CRS will select the correct firmware for your gear automatically. For step-by-step instructions, see How to Upgrade COBRA Firmware.
Option 2 — Portal (older reprogramming software)
If you prefer the older Portal software, download the files at cobrafiringsystems.com/portal and select firmware version 8.0 from the list.
