6.10 Software Update

The eXp 6000 is able to update its software after changed or improved by OKM. For that you need to

download a specific update file from OKM's website. As soon as a new update is available OKM is
publishing the file on the website.

The process of updating the software is as follows:

1. Download the update file from the internet.

2. Copy the file to an external USB storage (e.g. USB stick).

3. Plug-in the USB storage into the USB port of the eXp 6000.

4. The eXp 6000 control unit will detect the update file automatically and you have to follow the

instructions on your screen.
