Software upgrades may become available during the life of your Scout 
camera. The upgrade process requires an SD card loaded with the 
upgrade file. After receiving the upgrade file from F L I R ,  l o a d  it  o n t o  
your SD card.
Caution!
Use the following procedure to install the upgrade:
1.  Ensure that the camera battery is fully charged. (The software 
installation will not start if the battery charge is less than 50%.)
2.  With the camera off, install the SD card loaded with the upgrade 
file. Refer to “SD Card Door” on page 20.
3.  Install the Hot Shoe and connect to a power source. Refer to “The 
Hot Shoe” on page 23.
4.  Turn on the camera. During its Bootup process, the camera will 
check the SD card for a valid upgrade file.
5.  Watch the display. When a valid file is found, a message will be 
shown for about ten seconds directing you to 
Press and hold Capture button for 2 seconds to initiate 
update. If you ignore the message, the camera will resume 
normal operation and enter the On state.
6.  While the message is displayed, press and hold the Capture 
button for two seconds. The software upgrade takes about 
four minutes. When finished you will see this prompt to restart 
the camera. SW Upgraded: Please Shutdown & Restart now.
During a software installation, the camera must remain powered 
on. Turning off the camera, or losing power for any reason, may 
damage the system files and require that the camera be returned 
to the factory for repair.
