There are now new “Special” OPE 
firmware cards for Cougar 2k models. 
If this card  is written with ICU 
firmware, the card will not work 
correctly and there is a risk of 
damaging the card. It may be 
recoverable by downloading the 
correct firmware at least 3 times. 
 
Only update ICU cards with ICU 
firmware, and OPE cards with OPE 
firmware etc.
