You need the following items: 

• 

A Personal Computer with internet connection 

• 

A drive that can write on CD-R/CD-RW discs 

• 

A blank (new) CD-R disc, no CD-RW as this may cause problems 

• 

CD writing application 

• 

A Zip archive utility  

 

1. Download the upgrade software Zip file from internet on a local hard disk drive of 

your PC.  

2. Extract the files by unzipping the zipped file to a file folder.
3. Insert a blank (new) CD-R disc in your CD-R/CD-RW writer. 
4. 

Start the CD writer application. 

5. In your CD writer application select to write a data CD-R disc. 
6. Select the all files that you have unzipped to the folder earlier.  

Note : ‘drag & drop’ for Windows XP CD creation will not work. 

 

7. Write the disc with maximal 4x speed. 
8. 

Finalize the disc (the application may do this automatically). If the CD -R disc is 
not finalized then the upgrade will not work. 

9.
