Firmware Update Process
1. Connect a USB cable to the rear panel USB port and to your computer.
2. Either hold the blank button on the main display during power-up or open the SETUP/GLOBAL Edit page
in order to enable OS ACCESS.
3. A drive icon will appear on your computer, like connecting a flash drive or external hard drive. Double
click the drive to open.
4. Extract the firmware zip file and drag/copy the new firmware file into the WING OS drive.
5. After copying is completed, please eject the WING OS drive from your PC.
6. WING should reboot automatically a few seconds after ejecting the drive. If it doesn’t, please power
cycle the console, and verify the correct firmware version on the lower right corner of the SETUP screen.


Alternative Firmware Update from USB Stick
1. Download any future fw updates from behringer.com and store it on a FAT formatted USB stick
2. Connect the USB stick to the top panel USB port of WING
3. Open the SETUP page and tap on the Console Update icon near the bottom right corner of the display 4. A file browser will appear on the screen, and you can navigate to where the fw update is located
5. Select the correct fw update file and tap on UPDATE
6. After installing the update is completed, you will be prompted to reboot the console
7. The console can be rebooted by power cycling, or by selecting SETUP/SHUTDOWN and holding the
SETUP button while pressing the HOME button.
8. Verify the update was successful by comparing the fw version number in the bottom right corner of the
Setup screen


Note, WING will always boot using the most recent firmware in its OS drive.
However, it is recommended to delete older firmware files or move them to a subfolder. When a fw update is done directly from USB stick (as described above) the OS drive partition will be formatted automatically, before the new fw is copied into it.
