Rad-97 software is updated using the Rad-97 Software Upgrade USB Drive and the USB port on the rear of Rad-97. The Software Upgrade USB Drive is available from
Masimo for authorized service personnel by calling Masimo Technical Support. See Contacting Masimo on page 65.

Before performing the upgrade procedure, ensure Rad-97 is plugged in and has power.
CAUTION: Do not turn off Rad-97 during the upgrade process. Interruption of the Rad-97 software upgrade may cause a corruption of the device.
