If you use the "hb1Control" app for the first time, you should write down your hb1 presets, since all presets are lost during the chip change.

If you already use the "hb1Control" app, please make sure that you perform the "Save all presets to file" function before the chip change.

Afterwards, first look at the video guide below! Following step by step this video you have to perform exactly the chip upgrade and calibration of the hb1.

Important: If you are not confident about this chip change, or if you encounter any difficulties, you can write Hornberg an e-mail and arrange a Skype, FaceTime or Google Hangouts video appointment, or contact ILIO. We will be glad to assist you with the upgrade.
