NOTE
If your module has a universal connector, unscrew its adaptor to
access the ferule.
When a new software version is loaded, there is a risk of re-initializa-
tion of the internal memory. Before installing the new software, it is
therefore advisable to save the results in the memory, using the
Save
function called up by the
F
ILE
button.
Do not interrupt the installation process, as this could damage the
instrument.
To avoid any interruption of the installation procedure, the 4000 Plat-
form must be operating on the mains: if the procedure is started while
operating on battery, a message indicates that the instrument must be
connected to the mains.
