Summit Firmware Upgrades

Instructions for CUES K2/SUMMIT/MARK3 Updates

This page provides firmware downloads for the CUES K2, SUMMIT, and MARK3 Systems. It is essential to use the latest software before conducting your next survey, as updates enhance performance and improve stability.

This update applies to the Analog Only systems with a version number consisting of one letter followed by three numbers, e.g., T072 or R032. The version number is found on the Equipment Configuration screen.

If the version number consists of two sets of two numbers separated by a period, e.g., REV 01.03, then you will need the K2 digital HD ready update found in the “CUES HD VIDEO” download page.

General Instructions

1. Download the file onto a blank thumb drive. Once the file is on the thumb drive, right‐click on the file and extract it to the root of the thumb drive (this can be done by removing everything in the location bar except the drive letter and the colon).
2. Take a picture of the Equipment Configuration screen. The upgrade should restore all these values, but if it does not, the picture will enable resetting these values to their proper settings.
3. Once this is done, you can upgrade your K2 by entering the Administration Mode (highlight the ON or OFF after the speaker on the configuration page, then press CTRL+ALT+A at the same time).
4. It should say “Entering Administration Mode” and the cursor should return to the top of the screen to the Configuration correct field.
5. Insert the thumb drive into one of the USB ports on the front of the unit.
6. Press the letter “Y” and then the ESC key. This will take you to the main menu.
7. Using the Up and Down arrow keys, highlight the Copyright screen and then press the enter key.
8. On the keyboard, press CTRL+ALT+ U. It should start running the files and the upgrade will start. When the Configuration Screen returns, verify that the Revision at the top of the screen has updated and then remove the thumb drive.
