How do I check the firmware version of my hb1?

To do this, you must enter the "Service Mode" of the hb1. Please be careful!!

- First unplug the USB cable from the hb1. While holding down the black button and plug in the USB cable again. Release the black button! Now you see "vrS" on the hb1 display; this means "version".
- Press the rotary encoder once. The display shows now the firmware version number. For example, 3.27 or 3.2C ... or another number.
- Press the black button repeatedly until "End" appears on the display.
- Now press the rotary encoder one time and the hb1 will restart .... finished !!!!!
Future firmware updates with new features will be transferred to the hb1 via the hb1 Control app. This is possible from hb1 serial number 00351. All hb1 serial numbers below require a chargeable firmware chip upgrade.
Firmware updates and new features are still free of charge.

How do I perform the firmware upgrade?

If you use the "hb1Control" app for the first time, you should write down your hb1 presets, since all presets are lost during the chip change. For this purpose you can download a fillable PDF form:

If you already use the "hb1Control" app, please make sure that you perform the "Save all presets to file" function before the chip change.

Afterwards, first look at the video guide below! Following step by step this video you have to perform exactly the chip upgrade and calibration of the hb1.
Important: If you are not confident about this chip change, or if you encounter any difficulties, you can write us an e-mail and arrange a Skype, FaceTime or Google Hangouts video appointment. We will be glad to assist you with the upgrade.
