Directions on how to install new firmware:
Step 1: If you have not done so you must first download and install the HDM Data Viewer on your PC. Your Z1 has stored all of the sleep data since your first night’s use in its flash memory. Syncing your Z1 with the Data Viewer application will ensure that you do not lose existing sleep data.
Step 2: Once the Data Viewer is installed follow the instructions to Sync your Z1. Once your Z1 has synced, follow the instructions to save your data to file. This will save existing data to your PC to prevent its loss during the firmware upgrade.
Step 3: Download and install the Z1 Firmware Installer.
Step 4: Once the software is installed, reconnect your Z1 to the PC and follow the prompts to select your preferred upgrade options. Once you have selected your options complete the firmware upgrade.
