The P80 console is driven by software with innovative features that enhances the user’s experience during
a workout. Periodically the software will need to be updated with improvements to the functionality and
features. This procedure explains how to update the software using a USB Flash drive that has at least 1GB
of empty space.
Verifying Hardware Compatibility
Since the initial release of the P80 there have been hardware and software updates. Before updating
software you should verify what hardware version is installed, and if it is compatible with the software
version you are updating to. There are 2 methods of determining the hardware version:
Method 1 – The Event Log:
Reboot the P80. Once the P80 fully boots to the "Welcome" screen, go into the service access menus and
press "ABOUT", then press "EVENT LOG". Look for an entry that begins with "OMAP" and look for the
word "Hardware".
Hardware1 = 256K memory (early P80s)
Hardware2 = 512K memory
Hardware3 = includes new dual power supply
Method 2 – Part Number Dash:
On the back of the P80 armor behind the vent cover, look for the part number label.
Part number with -101, or -601 only = 256K memory (early P80s)
Part number with -102, or -602 = 512K memory
Part number with -103, or -603 only = includes new dual power supply
