FAQ's
How do I check which version of firmware my S1 or remote is already using?
S1 – To see which version of firmware your S1 flash head is using: power the light off, press and hold the “test” button, and power the light back on. A number (1.5, 2.0, etc.) will appear on the LCD readout that corresponds to the firmware version.
Remote – To see which version of firmware your remote is using: power the remote on and press and hold the “mode” button. A letter and number (b 01, b 02) will appear on the LCD readout that corresponds to the firmware version.
I downloaded the firmware files but I can’t open them on my computer.
Your computer may consider the software to be a threat, as it is coming from an “unknown developer”. You may have to manually override the security settings on your computer. Please see the Download Instructions above for more details.
When I plug my device to the computer, I get an error message saying “the update software is not fit for this device”.
Each firmware file is specific to the device. This is a failsafe to ensure users do not inadvertently corrupt their device. If you see this message, double-check to make sure you downloaded the correct file. If you still get the error message, contact Interfit Support.
