8 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The DLC50 and HC4 both come completely loaded with the software required to operate the unit. However field
installation of software can easily be accomplished by the user in order to Update, Upgrade, or even reinstall the
system software. The process to install software on either the DLC50 or the HC4 involves loading a file via the USB
port on each device from a USB mass storage device. A USB memory stick will be recognized by both the DCL50 and
the HC4 and is a recommended device for providing the software update.

the USB port on each unit must be used to perform the installation on that unit.
