R5 – Maintenance and do-it-yourself
Updating the software and firm-
ware
Updating the firmware of the machine
The firmware is the internal control software of your
machine. New versions may introduce new functions
and improve existing ones. New firmware versions
come as part of new versions of DentalCNC.
NOTICE

firmware update is interrupted
If the firmware update is interrupted, the control unit
of the machine may become permanently damaged.
Only update the firmware if a permanent electrical
supply of the machine and the computer is guar-
anteed.
Only update the firmware if the computer's oper-
ating system is stable and is free of malware.
Only update the firmware if the connection
between the computer and the machine is stable.
Always use a wired connection during the update.
Do not disconnect the machine or the computer
from the electrical source nor switch off the
machine or computer during a firmware update.

firmware when you start machining. The firmware
update should take 5 – 15 minutes to complete.
