This will open the Open File window (shown). Select the Scout MkII firmware image (

<filename>.bin

).

Then click the

Open

button.

The web page should now show the selected file name. Click the

Upload

button to validate the firmware

file. After a brief delay of about 30 seconds or less the Scout MkII should indicate the correct file and that
the file was successfully validated.

After the file has been validated click on the

Update

button to upgrade the firmware.

After a brief delay of about 30 seconds the Scout MkII wll indicate that the Firmware has been updated
successfully. The Scout MkII will then need to be reset in order for the new firmware to complete
installation.
