3) The Polaris MINI begins downloading the upgrade files. The upgrade is around
1.3 GB. Thus, depending on the speed of your Internet connection, it may take a
long time to download. If the upgrade fails, you may receive the message,
"Internet connection is not available. To try the upgrade again, press "Space-Z"
to cancel, and activate "Upgrade Polaris MINI Firmware" again. If the connection
is successful, the upgrade files are downloaded.

upgrade process. Please remember you must not touch the Polaris MINI until the
upgrade is complete, as pressing keys, resetting, or unplugging the unit can
interrupt the upgrade process, thus resulting in an incomplete installation. When
the upgrade is complete, you are returned to the "program" menu, and the unit
announces, "File manager".
5) After the upgrade is complete, check the software version by pressing "Space-
V" while in the "program" menu.
11.11.2 Upgrading the Polaris MINI Firmware from a Disk
To upgrade the Polaris MINI Firmware from a disk, follow these steps:
1) Download the upgrade file from the HIMS website. Note: the file is a .bin file, however, some versions of
Windows may rename it as a .zip file. Do not extract this file. Simply rename the extension back to .bin. Copy
the file to the root of an external storage device such as an SD card or USB thumb drive.
2) Connect the SD card or USB drive to the Polaris MINI, and be sure the Polaris
MINI is connected to AC power. Then, press "Enter" on "Upgrade Polaris MINI
Firmware" from the "Utilities" menu.
