Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I've had a look for a dealer to update my 3+ but can't find one. May have to wait until we go to the alps in a couple of months time.

How can I tell if my 3+ needs an upgrade? I got it from EB a couple of months ago, so it may have the new software already on it.... Anyone know how/where to check....

If you have the original box it came in there is usually a sticker with the manufacture date and the version, to be fair or unfair EB are still trying to sell through last seasons 3+ thats why they are so expensive in EB, the RRP came down this season, the 3+ in my local EB are last seasons transceivers. Shocked

Your 3+ will still be fine and work as it should do, the upgrades only add to the software.

The other strange thing is it depends on which coluor your have, black ones tend to be older software than the green ones newer Puzzled

Thank you livetoski, I'm in Tignes atm so it shouldn't be too difficult finding somewhere to see if it needs doing/ get it updated.

My 3+ bought in Oct 11 is already software version 1.1 - Bergsport Chur checked it and said it was up to date. Also told me to change battery at 40% - nothing I can find in manual on the subject. Anyone confirm?
