and select the file: FieldUpdate_RMUFWV30_00.hex.
c) Click on „Start Update“and wait until the process is finished (about 3 minutes).
Please observer the MU status during the update:
The microphone button flashes green periodically and thereby signals boot loader mode.
The rear side power LED flashes green in order to signal incoming radio data.
The gooseneck microphone flashes red and thereby signals incoming radio data.
At the end of a successful update the MUs power off on their own. Please refer to the troubleshooting
section on the next page in case the update was not successful.
If the former MU firmware version was lower than 3.0.00, please proceed with the following steps:
d) Power up all MUs again and make sure the connection to the CU is established (solid white lit mic
button).
e) Browse to the folder:
\Quinta_System_Update_07-2018\3_Microphone-Unit\MU_3x_Revoluto_firmware\
and select the file: MU_config_MicMode.hex. It is not necessary to click on “Start update”, since this
update will be executed immediately.
f) The Quinta MU will power off after a few seconds which indicates a successful file transmission.
Please proceed with the Quinta system update by checking the version number of your next component.

Troubleshooting:
Occasionally, radio interference from other devices may interrupt the wireless update process.
The affected devices will stay in boot loader mode and will not power off automatically. Please
repeat the MU update in this incident and put them closer to the Quinta CU antennas. Please re-
fer to the appendix for more information about the MU signalling code. It might help to use a fixed
frequency for the duration of an MU update.
In some cases it might help to update fewer MUs at one time, e.g. batch of 5 MUs and/or to put
them closer to the antennas of the CU.
In rare cases, the MU update fails and the MUs seem to stay without
connection to the CU (either flashing red mic button or flashing green
mic button. Please refer to the appendix for more information about the
MU signalling code. In this case, please toggle the HD/HQ selection in
the RF menu. Observe if the signalling code changed (flashing red to
solid white, or flashing green to alternating blinking green). In case the
problem stays, reconfiguring the RoomCombining configuration or the
PIN setup might help.
After the connection is established again, execute the field update procedure again (step a) through c)
above). The MUs will power off on their own after a successful update.

13 Microphone Units TH Update (Handheld)
Turn on all Quinta microphone units MU TH which should participate in the update by pressing the micro-
phone button. All TH microphone units (MUs) will be updated simultaneously by wireless connection. En-
sure that no other MUs are located within the RF range of the Quinta CU antennas (for example next
door), otherwise those MUs will also participate in the update and/or may contribute to unwanted interrup-
tions during the update process.
All participating MUs have to have a stable radio connection to the Quinta CU.
Please see the appendix for more information about the MU signalling code.
At the beginning of the update all THs automatically switch to boot loader mode.
For the duration of the MU update process, please set the RF transmission
mode to HD Audio! Restore your original configuration (HD/HQ) after the update.
