To update the handset of your Bushnell 78-9945 Sky Tour Remote, you will need to download the firmware update file from the Bushnell website. Once you have downloaded the file, you will need to unzip it and follow the instructions in the includedreadme file.

Here are the steps in detail:

Go to the Bushnell website and search for the firmware update for your Sky Tour Remote.

Click on the link to download the file.

Save the file to a location on your computer.

Unzip the file.

Follow the instructions in the readme file.

The instructions in the readme file will vary depending on the firmware update file you have downloaded. However, the general steps are as follows:

Connect the handset of your Sky Tour Remote to your computer using a USB cable.

Open the firmware update file.

Click on the "Update" button.

The firmware update will be installed on your handset.

Once the firmware update is complete, disconnect the handset from your computer.

Your handset is now updated to the latest firmware.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind when updating the firmware on your Sky Tour Remote:

Make sure that your handset is fully charged before you start the update process.

Do not disconnect the handset from your computer during the update process.

If the update process fails, try restarting your computer and then retry the update.
