TALON UPDATES WITH ANDROID
FOR BLUETOOTH® ENABLED TALONS
Update a Single Talon from the Talon App with Android
All updates to the Talon are communicated through the Talon app. The Talon
must be paired and communicating to the device through a Bluetooth connection
in order for the Talon to be updated. Follow these steps when using an Android
device for a single Talon.
a. Confi rm that the Talon is both paired and communicating with the
device. Once confi rmed, open the Talon App.
NOTICE: If the App contains a critical Talon software update that is more
up-to-date than the Talon it is paired to, the App will force you to update
the Talon.
b. If the App recognizes that it is more up-to-date than the Talon, a
message will appear on the screen notifying the user that updated Talon
software is available. The app will offer the option to either Cancel or
Transfer the update. Select Transfer to continue the update.
NOTICE: If you choose to Cancel the update, you can return to update the
Talon by selecting the Menu icon and then choosing the Software Update option
from the Menu list.
c. The App will bring up the Software Update screen. The Software Version
for each Talon in memory will show. If a Talon appears in the list, but the
title is in grey, the Talon and the devices are currently not communicating.
If Transfer was selected when the Software Update message appeared, the device
will begin to update and the Software Update Screen will change to read
Transferring. While the Talon App is transferring a progress bar will appear
below the Talon listed. While the transfer is taking place, make sure to keep
the power of the Talon and device “on” and keep the device in range of the
Talon. 
NOTICE: If the process was fi rst canceled, and
then the user returns to the Software Update Screen, a Transfer button will
appear next to the Talon in memory that is not up-to-date actively
communicating with the device. Select the Transfer Button to begin the
Software Update process.
d. Once the update has been completely transferred to the Talon, the
Talon will restart. The Software UpdateScreen will change from Transferring…
to Transfer while the Talon is restarting.
e. The Indicator Lights on the Talon will fl ash and the Talon will beep.
Once the Talon restarts, the app willreturn to the Talon Control Screen.
f. To confi rm that the Talon is updated, open the Menu and select the
Update Software option and verifying that the Software Version listed for the
Talonincreased.
g. The Software Update Screen showing an Up to Date message next to the
Talon.
h. Once the Talon software update is complete, the Talon will
automatically push the update to any remotes or foot switches that are paired
to it once they are in range and as soon as they are actively communicating.
NOTICE: While any Talon Remotes or Foot Switches are being updated, the
Indicator lights will scroll. At the end of the updates, all of the lights
will fl ash on and then turn off to signal the update is complete. These
devices will then need to be repaired.
NOTICE: If the Talon App returns to the Home Screen where the main Talon
control is located, and the device is not actively communicating with the
Talon, a Talon Not Found message will appear over the controls. If this
message appears, go to the Bluetooth Settings menu on the device to connect
the Talon.
