## Updating PM5 Firmware

If you find your PM5's firmware is outdated, you will need a USB Type B cable to update it. To update your PM5, complete these steps:

1.  On your PC or Mac, install the **Concept2 Utility** directly from the [Concept2 website](https://www.concept2.com/service/monitors/pm5/firmware).
2.  Launch the **Concept2 Utility**.
3.  Plug the USB Type B port into the back of the Performance Monitor and plug the other end of your cable into your computer.
    
    USB Type B cables may have either a USB Type A or Type C port on the other end. Check your computer to see which type it accepts.
    
4.  When the ![TV with device connection](https://zwiftdmz-marcom-us-east.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/support/EN/Cycling/Resources/Images/Connected_Concept2_86x38.png "Connected") icon appears in the top right corner, select **Update Firmware**.
