Trouble Downloading Dx6e firmware to SD card

I have tried many times to download the files from the Spektrum web site on to my SD card but nothing has been saved. The card was formatted before any attempting to download the updates. The card is new and only the registration number from the transmitter shows up on the directory. Thanx to all for any help provided.

What format did you format the SD card to? And is the DxE firmware installed directly to the root directory of your SIM card? If not, then it you may need to copy the downloaded software to the very top directory on the SD card. Once there, eject the drive, then install it into your DX6e when it is powered off and turn it back on.

It should auto update at that point. If not, you may need to go through and do the manual update:


Manually Installing Spektrum AirWare Software Updates
1. Save the desired Spektrum AirWare version to the SD Card.
2. Install the SD card into the transmitter.
3. Select Update Firmware in the SD Card Menu options. The Select File screen appears.
4. Select the desired Spektrum AirWare version from the File List.
When updates are installing, the transmitter screen is dark. The orange LED Spektrum bars flash and the update status bar appears on the screen.
