WARNING

Never turn the unit on if the software chip is not in its socket.
NOTE Antistatic precautions must be performed when handling the software chip.
Touch any grounded metal part of the unit before touching the software chip.
NOTE The software is always downwards compatible i.e. a new software is always
compatible with an older unit. However, replacing e.g. a foot control to an older
unit may cause some software incompatibilities.

control PCB” on page G-22.
c) Remove the software chip from its socket with the special tool as illustrated below.

the socket.
