The screen will then ask you to confirm the operation. Press the [F8] key to proceed, or the [F9]
key to abort. Performing a DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE operation will overwrite the existing
firmware which is currently running.
An aborted download or one which failed prior to starting the download may be restarted by
pressing the [F3] key. To select or enter a different filename, press the [F7] key.
Due to the nature of this operation, all other terminal functions will cease during a download.
Once the download begins, the terminal‟s screen will be unable to show any status information.
For this reason the two LEDs on the back of the terminal are used as such:

Flashing Green - indicates that all is healthy and the transfer is proceeding.

Solid Red - the transfer has failed. Firmware must be loaded via the method
described in a) above. This is achieved by cycling power to the terminal or
simultaneously pressing the [cursor left] [cursor right] and [Enter] key at the same
time while the flash card is inserted. If more then one firmware file exists on the card,
the first one will be loaded and this process will need to be repeated in order to select
the firmware file you desire.
When the transfer completes successfully, the new firmware will automatically begin operation.
Refer to the section “ Terminal Powerup Sequence”.
WARNING:
Any time the terminal is powered up with a flash card inserted which
contains a valid firmware *.FMW file, the terminal will attempt to load new firmware (note
item ‘a’ above). For this reason, it is not advisable to leave a memory card containing a
firmware file in the terminal, after the firmware has been downloaded.
