Recover a radio module

Follow these steps to recover radio modules that have damaged firmware or are in programming mode. For more information, see the XBee recovery tool.

Note You cannot use the recovery tool to recover programmable radio modules or the XLR-PRO.

1. Launch the XBee recovery tool by selecting XBee recovery from the Tools drop-down menu on the main toolbar. The Recover a radio module dialog appears.



2. Select the serial port where the damaged radio module is attached.
3. Select the firmware you want to use for recovery. Specify the product family, function set, and version.
4. Click Recover to program the new firmware in the radio module. Click Show Details from the progress box to view a detailed progress log.
5. If XCTU displays a dialog asking you to reset your radio module, reset the module and wait for the dialog to close.
6. If the recovery is successful, click OK to close the validation message. Errors are displayed as separate error messages and are also logged in the progress log.

Note You can click View Release Notes if the selected firmware has available release notes.
