Updating your CertiFiber Pro fails - rescue mode

It is always recommended to plug your charger into the Versiv/TFS mainframe before doing a software update. Loss of power due to a discharged battery during a software update can put your Versiv/TFS mainframe or remote into an unusable state. If this should happen, try the following:

Mainframe Versiv/TFS

  • Power off the unit.
  • Hold down the HOME and TEST keys.
  • Keeping them held down, turn on the tester.
  • You will see "RESCUE MODE" appear.
  • Using LinkWare, reflash/update the tester again via the USB port using the latest version of LinkWare PC Software.

Remote Versiv/TFS

  • Power off the unit.
  • Hold down the TALK and TEST keys.
  • Keeping them held down, turn on the tester.
  • All the lights will stay on.
  • Using LinkWare, reflash/update the tester again via the USB port using the latest version of LinkWare PC Software.
