A dialog box shows the progress of the upgrade.

On touch-screen terminals, you must calibrate the touch screen
after the first terminal reset by selecting pointers in all four
corners of the screen and pressing the middle of the screen
when prompted.

Communication settings are cleared when the terminal is
upgraded. If Ethernet communication is used, reconfigure the
Ethernet settings using the values recorded when preparing the
terminal for the upgrade. Refer to

.

5. Replace the .MER files that you backed up before starting the

upgrade or download a new .MER file to the terminal.

6. Load the .MER file and run the project.

IMPORTANT

Ignore this message if it appears during the upgrade.

Machine Edition may be corrupted. Do you want to
download firmware?

It means FactoryTalk View Machine Edition has been
removed from the terminal to install the upgrade. Do
NOT touch the two buttons that appear with the
message. Doing so could render the terminal inoperable.

TIP

You can configure your application to start automatically
on power cycle by accessing Terminal Settings>Startup
Options in Configuration mode.
