Upgrading the firmware
from an external memory
device
You can load a rmware stored in a commercially-available
external memory device (USB memory stick or microSD
card) to the product to upgrade the existing rmware. This
is convenient when you want to manage rmware versions
or change the rmwares of multiple units of the product.
Note
• External memory devices used for the product must be
formatted in FAT or FAT32.
• You cannot use a USB hub to connect two or more USB
memory sticks or other external memory devices to the
product.
• Some types of USB extension cables may not be able to work
normally. Use the USB memory stick by inserting it directly
into the USB port of the product.
•
Do not remove the external memory device while the USB lamp
or microSD lamp of the product is lit up or ashing. Doing so may
damage data in the external device. Before removing the external
device, hold down the USB button or microSD button for two
seconds and make sure that the USB lamp or microSD lamp has
gone off.

can be upgraded from an external
memory device

external device” screen, select “do not allow”. Also in the
“Firmware le name” eld, specify the le name of the
rmware to be used for upgrading.
