The Ortovox Diract and Ortovox Diract Voice avalanche transceivers can be updated via Bluetooth using the Ortovox app (download the app from the Apple or Google stores). (Learn about updating other transceivers.)
The ability to update your beacon is important, because it allows you to get enhancements and new features without purchasing a new avalanche transceiver. The software version number on Diract transceivers is displayed for several seconds when you turn off the transceiver.
To connect via Bluetooth:
- Turn off your Diract.
- Press and hold the Power and Flag buttons until the Bluetooth symbol appears on your transceiver. The words "Not Connected" will be displayed below the symbol.
- Release the buttons.
- Run the Ortovox app on your phone and follow its instructions.
