Receiving Your Shipment
When you receive your shipment, check all the boxes for dents or other markings that may
indicate damage during transport. If you suspect a component is damaged, carefully inspect it
before setting up the system. If you receive a damaged component, call Customer Support.
Use the enclosed packing checklist to ensure that you received all of the parts.

firmwares. But, if you are upgrading your Effects or Editing application yourself, you must
follow the next procedures.
