Follow the instructions given on the screen to perform the upgrade. When the upgrade is complete the program will confirm that the upgrade has been successful and then quit.

Step 7 - Switch the UPGRADE key to the OFF position and cycle the power

Switch the UPGRADE switch on the rear of the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO to the OFF position and disconnect the power. When the power is re-applied the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will operate using the new firmware.

Some useful issues to bear in mind when performing flash upgrades

The upgrade program rewrites the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO's firmware code. If the upgrade process is interrupted then the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO will have invalid code and will not be able to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade process is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectified by performing another upgrade. If the upgrade process is interrupted accidentally then you should immediately repeat the upgrade process without moving switch 2 from the upgrade (ON) position. Switch 2 forces the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO into flash upgrade mode and prevents the upgraded code from being run. Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your LINDY Dual/Quad PRO or computing equipment. For obvious reasons, the code that the LINDY Dual/Quad PRO uses to perform upgrades is not itself upgradable - a common problem on some flash upgradable products that could effectively be destroyed by a partial upgrade!

WARNING - Running faulty or partially upgraded code may have unpredictable results and may damage your LINDY Dual/Quad PRO or computing equipment.
