CAUTION

*

Use the AC adapter 12V 3-A or the same power source you use for the SXP mount.

*

Make sure that the PC has a stable power supply for transmission of data.

*

You may fail to reboot the STAR BOOK TEN if the power supply is cut during updating. If this is the case, ask your local Vixen dealer for
repair (chargeable to you).

*

You may need to alter the network settings in your PC for updating. Be sure to write down the original settings before changing them.

*

All the data stored in the memory may be initialized as a result of updating. Write down the current settings, just in case.

CAUTION

Never disconnect the power supply cord for the STAR BOOK TEN and the LAN cable while the STAR BOOK TEN is in communication
with the PC. This could result in unrecoverable damage.

If the connection to the PC does not finish, the message “Waiting…” will be displayed instead of the IP address. Or, if the connection

ends in failure, the message “Disconnected” will be displayed. If this is the case, wait a little while or make sure that the LAN cable is
connected securely.
