Firmware Version 3.1.4 Available

This update eliminates a flaw in the memory management of the FDM-1T which, under certain circumstances, could force the device into halt and display a System Failure message. Therefore, we strongly recommend installing this firmware update which is available for download as of now.

Credits to David F. Parker who reported this issue and helped testing the new firmware version.

For correct installation please adhere to the unit’s instruction manual.
