If you're talking about the Range AFM disabler, send it back to Range for the later firmware.

I believe the Range can tell you what firmware is installed by counting #of flashes when it powers up. I would imagine the instructions for finding what is installed on yours is on their website also.

Did you buy it direct from Range or from Amazon? The Amazon ones are usually not up to date on the firmware.

Then the other poster who told you to get Range to reprogram it will fix your problem. I have a new one direct from Range 3 months ago and it works like a charm and they're great people to deal with.

I just bought one from Amazon two weeks ago. The firmware was v8.6r1 which is the current one.
