The Ortovox 3+ can be updated 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. (Learn about updates to other transceivers)
To determine which version of software is installed on your 3+:
Ortovox usually charges $25 to update transceivers, although some updates are free. Contact Ortovox USA or find a dealer on the Ortovox website for details.
