Using this Guide with a Model 8718

The Model 8718 can be upgraded to take advantage of most, but not all, of the improvements incorporated into the Model 8718B. The upgrade includes some minor hardware changes and the installation of the Version 3.0 firmware that is described in this guide. There are only a few differences in the operation of a Model 8718 upgraded with Version 3.0 firmware versus the new 8718B. Those differences are noted in this guide.
