"Alphatag" Update Instructions

! ATTENTION - PERFORM THE UPDATE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE VERSIONS OF YOUR FIRMWARE. THIS WILL HELP AVOID TECHNICAL FAILURES AFTER TRANSITIONING TO THE NEW VERSION.

SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE

1. Copy and save the database file(s) (.db format) from the application folder (%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Laserwar\Alphatag) to your PC. 
2. Update the application to version 2.0.0.

FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR HIT SENSORS, TAGGERS, AND SHOCK BRACELETS

1. First, update the taggers.

• Taggers of the so-called "first revision" - with firmware 11.01.14.XX - MUST be updated to version 11.01.14.22. You can download this firmware here.
• Then, install the firmware "Revision 01, version 11.03.15.38" on them.
• For taggers of the so-called "second revision" - with firmware 11.2.14.15 - install the firmware "Revision 02, version 11.03.15.38".
• Updated weapons will not connect to headbands with "old" firmware. 

Note that after overwriting, all sound effects on the taggers will be deleted. They can be restored in the "Settings" section (tab "Sounds").

Check three checkboxes, as shown in the screenshot, and click "Download selected". The software will start writing files, after which the tagger will restart with restored sounds.

2. Update the shock bracelets.

• Install the firmware AT_SHOCKER_06_015_005 on them.

3. Update headbands, helmets, vests.

• Initially, the hit sensors should have firmware version 11.01.14.41 (or 11.01.14.42). If you have a different version, you need to install the latest one. You can download the file 11.01.14.41 here.

Then, install the firmware AT_CORE_11_1_15_49 on headbands (helmets, vests). The sensors will reboot after the update and connect to the taggers.

Note that after the update, headbands (helmets, vests) will have an additional hit sensor and two taggers connected by default. Remember to change the settings through the admin mode - by triple-clicking the power button.

You can download the new firmware from the website. However, remember that upgraded kits will not be displayed in the current software if you install them now.
