for contact information or contact sales@novatel.com or

6.1.1 Firmware Updates
Firmware updates are firmware releases that include fixes and enhancements to the receiver
functionality. Firmware updates are released occasionally on the NovAtel web site as they become
available. New firmware must be loaded into the receiver through one of the COM ports. Once loaded,
the receiver reboots and begins operating with the new firmware.
Refer to Transferring Firmware Files on page 47 for descriptions of the Update and OEM
versions.
The NovAtel Connect PC Utilities bundle can be download from our web site:

WinLoad and SoftLoad instructions follow.
Direct access to a serial COM port on the SPAN-IGM is required.
