How do I resolve this?

Solution

A more recent version of MPManager is detecting an older version of firmware on the device you are using. Because MPManager and firmware are updated in parallel, MPManager requires an updated version of the firmware to work properly. You are receiving this message because MPManager requires a firmware update on your device in order to access all of the proper functionality.

Use the following steps to update your unit's firmware:

1. Download the latest firmware package for your unit in the download center at www.micropross.com/customer_area
2. Unzip the package to a file location of your choice
3. Open an older version of MPManager that does not produce this message when connecting to your device
4. Follow the steps in this article to update your firmware
