Status of the update will be shown

in four (4) screens. The first status

will show the process of uploading

the installation file into an internal

memory location.

The second status will show the

process of verification of the

installation file that was uploaded

into an internal memory location.

The third status will show the

process of extracting the contents

of the installation into internal flash

memory.
