3. Power on the Synergy frame.
4. At this time, a message will appear in the four-character displays, asking you if you have
saved your memories to disk.
• If you have not, press the 1 (UP arrow) button to display the word “ Quit ” and press
SEL . This will cause the frame to boot without upgrading the software, and give
you a chance to save your setups to disk. Refer to the section, “ System Backup ”on
page 3-19 for instructions.
• If you have saved your setups to disk, press SEL under the “ Cont ” prompt and
continue with the upgrade.
5. Insert the Synergy Software Upgrade Disk in the drive.
Note
If you have received a Synergy 100 system with version 16 software
already loaded on it, you will
not be able to load pre-version 16
software onto it regardless of whether you have a USB port or floppy
disk drive.
Caution
Observe all static discharge precautions throughout the procedure.
