Conceptronic CM3S Firmware Upgrade Instructions
for firmware version 1.58D
A. Upgrade information
The Conceptronic CM3S is equipped with an upgradeable firmware chip. This function makes it possible to
improve the device and to add new features.
Note: The firmware upgrade procedure is at your own risk. Even though a firmware upgrade can
improve the device and add new features, there’s a small possibility of an upgrade failure
which makes the device unusable.
