Chapter 4 Upgrading the Firmware
GeoVision will periodically release the updated firmware on the website. The new firmware
can be simply loaded into the Keyboard by using the Updated Utility included in the software
CD.
Note:
The firmware upgrade is only supported by GV-Keyboard V3.
WARNING:
While the firmware is being updated, the USB cable must not be removed. The
interruption of power supply during updating causes not only update failures but also
damages to the device. In this case, please contact your sales representative and send your
device back to GeoVision for repair.
1. Using the supplied USB cable, connect the Keyboard to the local computer.
