7. Select the battery base’s KIT file (ending in VXX.kit) from the Files section (FIG. 98).
8. Enter the Device value associated with the panel and the System number associated with the Master (listed in the OnLine Tree
tab of the Workspace window). The Port field is disabled.
NOTE: The firmware for the battery base can not be downloaded directly. Download of the KIT file to the BASE/B is done through
the panel. The procedures for updating f irmware to the base are nearly identical to those for updating panel f irmware, except
that the KIT f ile selected must be that of the BASE/B.
9. Click the Reboot Device checkbox. This causes the touch panel to reboot after the firmware update process is complete. The
reboot of the panel can take up 30 seconds after the f irmware process has f inished.
10. Click Send to begin the transfer. The file transfer progress is indicated on the bottom-right of the dialog (FIG. 98).
11. Click Close on the Send to NetLinx dialog window (after the panel reboots) to return to the main program.
12. Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This causes a refresh of all project systems, establishes
a new connection to the Master, and populates the System list with devices on your particular system.
13. Press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (below the LCD) for 3 seconds to access the Setup page.
14. Press the Battery Base button to open the Battery Base page and confirm that the version is no longer 0.00.
NOTE: If the Base Version field displays 0.00, this means there was an error in the firmware download process. Re-install the base
firmware and re-confirm that the new base version no longer reads 0.00.
