Njord Firmware Upgrade Instructions

The Njord family includes the LP820, LP815, C410, C420, DP8200x, Compact 695, AstroBeam
X320, and the Dataview M800. The instructions below refer to firmware version 753-0323-07 for the
LP820. Your version and projector model may be different. The procedure is identical.

NOTE The upgrade program used in this procedure conflicts with the program called ProjectorManager
III. If you have ProjectorManager III installed on your computer, you must uninstall it before upgrading the
firmware on your Njord family projector.

Connect the projector to the computer

To upgrade the projector firmware, you need a USB-A to USB-B cable

1 Connect plug the USB cable into the USB ports on the computer and projector.

2 Make sure the power switch is in the off position (‘0’). The power switch is next to the AC plug on
the back of the projector.

3 Plug the power cord into a power source and into the projector.

this document is stored). Double-click the file named USB_Flasher.exe.

The Firmware Upgrade Wizard appears.

♦ Toggle the power switch on the back of the projector to the On position (‘I’),
immediately release the Menu button, and then immediately repress the Menu
