Updating the Transceiver Software Using Your Dive Computer
Before you can update the software, you must pair your Descent™ transceiver with a Descent X50i dive computer.
-
Select an option to sync your dive computer:
-
Sync your dive computer with the Garmin Dive™ app.
-
Connect the dive computer to your computer using the USB cable, and sync with the Garmin Express™ application.
The Garmin Dive app and Garmin Express application automatically look for software updates. When you sync with the Garmin Dive app, you will be prompted to apply the update at a later time. When you sync with the Garmin Express application, the update is applied immediately to your dive computer.
-
- Wake the transceiver from low power mode (Waking the Transceiver from Low Power Mode).
- On the paired Descent dive computer, select Dive Setup > Dive Network & Air Integration > Transmitters, and select your transceiver.
-
Wait for the transceiver to connect to your dive computer.
Connected appears on the dive computer screen.
-
Select
Software Update, press
ENTER, and select
Install Now.
NOTE: The Software Update option may take up to a minute to appear while the dive computer determines the transceiver's software version and battery status. If the battery status is low or critically low, you must replace the battery before you can install the update.
- Keep the dive computer near the transceiver until the software update is complete.
