UPDATING SOFTWARE
Periodically, AMG adds functionality and other improvements
to the EVOS user interface. We recommend keeping your
EVOS
fl
microscope up to date with the latest software. If
you have any questions about software updates, contact
your local distributor. If you do not have your distributor
information, you can look it up at the AMG website or contact
AMG Customer Service (see p. 34).
DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE UPDATE
Software updates are available under the Support menu at
the AMG website.
1. Download the update directly to the top level of a
USB flash drive with at least 30MB available. Do not
open or rename the file on your computer; EVOS will
verify and install it during the update process.
2. Download the current user guide for EVOS
fl
from the
AMG website. The updated user guide covers the new
software functionality when features are added.
Alternatively, you can get the latest software and
documentation updates from your local EVOS distributor.
