If an update is available, select Download the latest update.
5
After the download, disregard any messages provided by the update tool. You will need to close
SIR30update.exe and SIR 30_MaintenanceTools.exe and Extract/Unzip SIR30Maint.zip manually
allowing all files to overwrite. This downloads the update files to your USB flash drive and unpacks
them in the appropriate directories. It does NOT install them to your SIR 30 at this time. The
procedure is described below.
Note:
After the download is complete, the User will note that the SIR30Maint.zip file is still located on
the USB flash drive. The Unzip\Extract procedure does not automatically delete it. The User can delete it
by hand if desired, or the User may leave it for a future clean up. Some Users may prefer to keep the older
zip files as archives in case they want to restore a previous version of the software.
