Important!
•Always read the upgrade instructions available with each new release, prior to upgrading your soft- ware.
•Downloading normally takes between 30 seconds and 10 minutes, although it can take longer. After starting the download, you should always wait at least 20 minutes before power cycling the AXIS 2110 - even if you suspect the download procedure has failed.
•In controlled environments, flash memory upgrades provide a very safe method for updating soft- ware. However, flash products can become damaged if the upgrade operation is not performed cor- rectly. Your dealer reserves the right to charge for any repair attributable to faulty upgrading by the user.
