As mentioned last month in our last newsletter, a few of our customers have experienced Bluetooth disconnection issues after updating their iOS version to 12.2, and recently to 12.3. Apple has been made aware of this bug. In the meantime, Eos is able to release a permanent patch/update to fix the problem.
Following are the steps required to update your Arrow and Eos Tools Pro to the latest firmware and software:
- Update Eos Tools Pro to the latest version available on the App Store: Version 1.76 (Build 207)
- After pairing your Arrow to your iOS device, launch Eos Tools Pro and you should be prompted to update the receiver’s communication firmware. Accept the update and wait for completion. Your Arrow Bluetooth Firmware should now show 2.2.885.
