may not work.
CAUTION! Formatting the Compact Flash card or USB Flash drive will erase all existing data permanently; this
includes reports, photos and videos. Formatting cannot be undone so proceed with caution!

Update your System software
Pearpoint may issue P350 system software updates to enhance system performance. To find out if Pearpoint has
released a new software update, please visit www.pearpoint.com or contact your local Pearpoint representative. It is
highly recommended that you periodically check for new software releases and update your controller when software
is made available. If you have two systems we would recommend upgrading both to the same version as they may
not necessary be fully compatible with each other.
These Controller Software Updates are free of charge and come as a “matched set” of system software. This is critical
in some scenarios, particularly the camera/tractor combination.
NOTE: Your system may already have the latest software installed. Check the software version of the file you are
about to use or download against your controller’s software version which you can access by pressing Fn + F4
together.
If using a memory storage device that contains survey files, or other valuable files, be sure to back up the data on to
your computer before continuing this procedure.
CAUTION: Do not switch off the controller or remove the memory storage device while the upgrade is in progress.
Failure to comply may render the controller inoperable.
