Repairing False Identification

:

                     If something other than the above CC60XX device is shown, perform 

the following procedure to replace the incorrect ID of imaging device with the 
correct one. (NOTE: This procedure may only be effective for as long as the 
CC6000 is attached to the computer’s USB port. If disconnected and later 
reconnected, this procedure may need to be repeated.)
