Software Upgrade Procedure

Step 1: Requirements for Upgrade
Raymarine C & E-Series displays are field upgradeable using a common CompactFlash (CF) memory card. For performing upgrades on Raymarine CF compatible products we strongly recommend using a SanDisk brand "Shoot & Store" or SanDisk brand standard grade CompactFlash card. Raymarine cannot guarantee other CompactFlash suppliers will offer the correct specification card for a successful software upgrade.

Contact the Nautical Service Department at 888-850-8702 or email to info@hsyacht.com to get your upgrade installed!

IMPORTANT: RayTech RNS 6.0 Software Users Please Take Note!

If you are currently networking RayTech RNS 6.0 software to an E-Series display through SeaTalkhs, do not upgrade your E-Series display to Version 4.29 software. RayTech RNS 6.0 is not compatible with E-Series v4.29 software. RayTech RNS 6.0 users are advised to stay at version 3.31 until RayTech 6.1 software is released in the near future.
