to install the updates. Press install. The Asema E will now automatically download the new
software, install it, and reboot the device. Depending on how old your current software is, and
how fast your Internet connection this might take a few (1-10) minutes ! Do not shut down
the device!

installation of the software, you can back up your system on an SD card. Simply put a microSD
card in the microSD card slot on the right side of the device. Then tap the "Backup System"
button and follow the steps.
• Restore backup: This option is used to restore a previously made backup of the system (see
previous item Backup system). Put the microSD in the microSD slot, push the "Restore Backup"
button and follow the steps.
• Remote management interface: remote management interface (RMI) allows Asema customer
support to access your Asema E remotely. By default the interface is closed and no access is
possible. When needed, you will be instructed by the customer support to open the interface.

about your Home/Away setting to asema.com service.
