Follow the steps to complete your Birdog Website form successfully.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the form and open it in your web browser. This will initiate the process to obtain the necessary download for the Birdog meter.
2. If required, temporarily enable pop-ups in your web browser to ensure the download begins smoothly. This is crucial as pop-up blockers may hinder the download of the Birdog software.
3. Choose between the two download options: 'Preconfigured' or 'Configure.' The Preconfigured option offers preset satellite locations, while Configure allows for personalized selection from specific satellite sections.
4. If opting for Preconfigured, click the designated button on the Birdog website homepage. Both executable (*.EXE) and compressed (*.ZIP) file formats are available. If there are restrictions on downloadable formats within your network, select the *.ZIP file.
5. Upon selecting a file format, a prompt will appear. Click ‘Save’ and select a destination on your computer, such as the Desktop or another suitable folder.
6. For the Configure option, again click the button from the Birdog homepage, then scroll to the Available Satellites selection menu at the bottom of the page.
7. Once your selections are complete, press the ‘Generate’ button to initiate the download. If your network does not permit the *.EXE file to be downloaded, check the ‘Create zipped file’ option.
8. After the file is generated, a prompt will appear. Click on the word 'Here' to retrieve your newly created file. Again, select ‘Save’ and place it in the desired location on your computer.
9. Ensure that your Birdog meter is fully charged. If you are using an older model, a serial cable will be necessary for software updates, along with a computer equipped with a serial port or a USB to Serial port converter.
10. Connect the data cable from your Birdog meter to your computer. The meter will display ‘Program Mode’ indicating it is ready.
11. Locate and click on the recently downloaded file. A dialog box will open, prompting you to select the appropriate Serial COM port or USB, based on your connection.
12. Click ‘Transfer’ to initiate the software upload. A completion message will appear once the download process is finished.
