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.
