Installing Software Upgrades

New releases of the

720i

system software can be

downloaded and installed using an internet connection
and the Rice Lake Web Update application. To use the
Web Update application, install the program

from the

Tool Kit CD.

Note

Before upgrading to a new version of

720i

system software, ensure that a copy of the
current indicator configuration has been saved
using

Revolution III

as these are not

interchangeable. Reloading the system
software requires a RESETCONFIGURATION
function and resets all configuration and
calibration values to their factory defaults.
