Description
Due to a problem discovered in software versions prior to ver 2.12 - including the
first release of 2.12, it is necessary to upgrade to new version 2.12.

inside the unit. When/if the ambient temperature is approximately -3C or below
all attempts to transmit messages will fail. During normal operation, the software is
checking when sending messages, that the internal temperature will not exceed 85C
in order to protect the hardware components.
The following is NOT affected by the software error:
