Hello All,

Hi Scott,
you need the latest firmware for Bluetooth support of the Focus 40 on your Mac.
For the Focus 40 blue classic, the latest firmware is 4.59. For the newer Focus
40 blue (2012 and later) it is 4.93. You will need a Windows PC to do the
firmware upgrade.

I've attempted to do a google search and also search the FS website and the
Focus 40 Blue manual. I've found no instructions for updating firmware. I have
had this problem for over a year, and I'm reasonably sure others have, too. I
think it would be great to post the instructions for firmware
I called Freedom Scientific and they sent me a link to get the latest version.
It doesn't appear to be readily available on their site for some reason.

Everything seems to be going well with the new Snow Leopard update. However, I
