# How to update the WingtraRAY charger firmware to resolve LED error states

## Troubleshooting red flashing and persistent orange LED indicators

#### When to Perform This Update

This firmware update is recommended if:

- The **charger LED is flashing red**, or
- The **LED shows orange** even though no other batteries are charging

#### What You’ll Need

- WingtraRAY Charging Dock
- **USB-A to USB-C cable**  
  ⚠️ The cable **must support data transfer**, not just charging

- A **Windows computer**
- [WingtraRAY Charger Firmware **v1.12**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N2G58u4XUaWcLVRRnMDOW862E5j_hAxh/view)(latest version as of 25 March 2026)

#### Step 1 — Prepare the Charger

1. **Disconnect the charger from wall power** (unplug it from the power brick).

#### Step 2 — Launch the Firmware Tool

1. On your Windows computer, open **WingtraRAY Charger Firmware V1.12.exe**.
2. Windows may display a security warning. If prompted:
   
     - Click **More info**
     - Then select **Run anyway**

#### Step 3 — Connect the Charger

1. Connect the charger to your computer using the USB cable.
2. Plug into the charger’s **10 W USB port** (this is important).
3. The charger should start beeping — this is expected.

#### Step 4 — Run the Update

1. In the firmware application, click **Upgrade**.
2. The application will show update progress.
3. Do **not disconnect** the charger during this process.

#### Step 5 — Completion

1. Wait for the confirmation message in the application.
2. The charger will emit a series of beeps and LED color changes.
3. At the end, the LEDs will **flash red** — this is normal.

#### Step 6 — Finalize

1. Disconnect the USB cable from the charger.
2. Reconnect the charger to its **power supply**.
3. Test by charging a set of batteries.

**If the Update Fails**

If the application shows a failure message:

- Close the firmware tool
- Disconnect the charger
- Reconnect everything and repeat the process once
