1158C

This release was never placed on Humminbird.com. However, you should note and WARNED of the following: Once you move to a version higher than 5.600, you cannot move back to a version of software lower than 5.600. We bring this to your attention because occasionally we have people who prefer the way a specific feature might have worked on an older release and want to move back to the former version.
We also advise that you pay serious attention during the upload process to the unit that you do not lose power or have an interruption of any kind during that process when moving higher than 5.600. If you do have an interruption, the download will not complete and your only recourse will be to return your unit to our service department for the factory to do the upgrade to the newer version. This is not covered under warranty and has a $69.95 service charge.
