I heva Petrel 2 with V81. During upgrade I see message Error 350. Send to dive computer failed. I tried on iPhone (last firmware version), iPad (last) and MacOSx (last version). The same problem.
Hello, I’m sorry you are experiencing these issues. We seem to have narrowed down the issue. It appears that it may be a recurrent but intermittent issue on v81 firmware when updating to v83 firmware, but only on Bluetooth LE. This is why it’s more prevalent on iOS. We have rolled forwards to v83 again, so v83 is back live. We have seen more success updating on BT Classic. So, as we investigate further, please try updating using the Bluetooth dongles with Cloud Desktop while we see what we can do for iOS.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Good morning!
Just a stupid question.
Firmware V83 is for all Petrel 1&2, and not only 2.
Is that correct?

Hello Hakan, I apologize for this delay in replying to you. The Firmware V83 is just for Petrel 2 computers only.
