Keeping your Winegard Trav'ler Pro's software up to date is important for optimal performance. Here's how to update the software using the RV Halo app:

Prerequisites:

  • Your Trav'ler Pro antenna should be powered on and connected to the RV Halo system.
  • Your mobile device or tablet must have the RV Halo app installed and be connected to the Trav'ler Pro via Bluetooth.
  • The Trav'ler Pro's Indoor Unit (IDU) needs to be connected to the internet via Wi-Fi.

Procedure:

  1. Open the RV Halo app: Launch the app on your device and make sure you're logged in.

  2. Select the Trav'ler Pro: From the device list, tap on your Trav'ler Pro antenna to access its settings.

  3. Connect to Wi-Fi (if needed):

    • If the IDU is not already connected to the internet, tap the "Connect to Wi-Fi" button.
    • Select your desired network from the list and enter the password if prompted.
    • Tap the back arrow once it shows as connected.

  4. Check for Updates:

    • On the Trav'ler Pro device screen look for an "Update Available" button or notification (if an update is available).
    • Tap "Update Device" or a similar button to start the update process.

  5. Update Process:

    • The update process typically involves three stages: Downloading, Installing, and Validating.
    • The IDU may reboot during the update.
    • The app might close the update screen automatically once the update is complete.
    • Multiple updates may be required to bring the IDU and ODU (Outdoor Unit) software to the latest version.

Important Notes:

  • Do not interrupt the process: Avoid powering off the device or closing the app during the update.
  • Check for multiple updates: After the first update completes, check for updates again, as there might be additional updates required.
  • Contact Winegard support: If you encounter any issues during the update process or if the update fails, contact Winegard customer support for assistance.
