| Ortovox S1 |
 The
Ortovox S1 can be updated (read about upgrading the Barryvox Pulse
or the Pieps DSP). The
update is done using an infrared interface.
The ability to update your beacon is important, because it allows you to get enhancements and new features without purchasing a new
avalanche transceiver. To determine which version of the software you have, click on the wrench icon and
then the "i" icon.Unlike the Pieps and Pulse, there isn't a charge to update the S1 at a retail stores (good
decision, Ortovox). There is a nominal charge if you choose to mail your transceiver to Ortovox (to cover shipping and insurance). Contact
Ortovox USA or visit the Ortovox website for details.
