Keypad Firmware Upgrade v1.31

NEO HS2LCD(RF)(P) / HS2INC(RF)(P)

From time to time, there are enhancements and feature upgrades to most electronic
components in the security industry. DSC has designed the NEO platform to be flash
upgradable, allowing the platform to migrate into the future. This process allows you to
upgrade the firmware in the Corbus modules, instead of replacing the hardware.

The v1.31 keypad firmware upgrade is designed to increases the volume of the keypad’s
beeps including key presses and the door chime feature.

The v1.31 keypad firmware upgrade files are available for the following NEO keypads:

Keypads
HS2LCD(RF)(P)
HS2ICN(RF)(P)

The HS2LCDWF(P)(V) keypads cannot be firmware upgraded.

The firmware upgrade process is completed through the Flash Wizard feature built into
the DLS5 software.

The DLS5 software can be downloaded from the DSC website:
