  1. File > Preferences > Connection > 12/42, 14/44 USB only
  2. Help > Service Center > Setup > Update Drivers
  3. Double check your USB mini cable for data pins (as shown in video)

 

Checking and Updating Battery Firmware

  1. Check for the latest version of Battery Firmware here:

  2. Ensure you have the latest version of Dashboard installed and that you can connect to the battery.
