ICD-HP - Updating Firmware

Download the ICD-HP update or detach it from an email sent by an authorized Hunter individual.  The file will be sent in a "zip" format. This may require WinZip, 7Zip or similar utilities to extract the data. Save the file to your desktop, or any other easy to locate file locations.

Place the ICD-HP in Flash Mode.

1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the ICD-HP. The mini-USB connector on ICD-HP is underneath the blue screw down cap on the connector end of the ICD-HP. (This is a standard mini-USB and replacements can be purchased at electronics stores, if necessary.)
2. Turn the ICD-HP power off with the power button.
3. Press and hold the ? (Info) button.
4. Press the power button to turn ICD-HP back on.
5. Release the ? (Info) button when the display appears. The display will read, “DO NOT DISCONNECT: PLEASE WAIT…” and will show a place for a progress bar.
6. Open the zip file on the computer, and double-click the "Setup.exe" file. This will start a small program in a black window. For instructions on How to Unzip a file with your software follow this Support Article Link.  The program will prompt you to connect the ICD-HP (if you have not already done so), and press Enter to continue.
7. When the update is complete, the ICD-HP display will return to the main menu. The software program will show, “Press any key to end this program”.

• Press any computer key to end the update program.
• You may now disconnect the ICD-HP for field use, or use it on USB power with the new update.

Note: The flash update process may take 2 or 3 minutes.  The ICD-HP will stay in bootloader mode for 2 mins and switch back to app mode if there is no bootloading activity.  You should have have the files unzipped and ready to go before putting the ICD-HP into bootloader mode.  If dissconnected in the middle of an update, just restart the process.

If the ICD-HP is already connected to the computer, turn the ICD-HP power OFF with the power button.

1. Press and hold the ( ? ) button. While holding the ( ? ) button, press and release the Power button to turn the ICD-HP back on.
2. Open the zip file on the computer, and double-click the Setup.exe file. This will start a small program in a black window. The program will prompt you to connect the ICD_HP (if you have not already done so), and press Enter to continue. The flash update process may take 2 to 3 minutes and characters will appear in the computer window. The progress bar on the ICD-HP will begin to advance. Note: Do not disconnect the ICD-HP before the update is completed! Doing so may leave the ICD-HP unusable.
3. When the update is complete, the display will flash that it was successful, and you may now disconnect it.
