Once done, the Polaris MINI will reboot, and the system files will be upgraded.
During this process, there is no speech, but the progress will be shown in Braille
as a percentage.
When the system files have been upgraded, the software will load and boot.
During this process, the Polaris MINI displays “Starting BrailleSense” in Braille,
but no sound or speech is heard. This process can take many minutes; do not be
surprised if nothing happens for 30 minutes or more.
When the firmware boots, the unit will then proceed to upgrade any applications
with updated programming, usually between 25 and 30 apps. Progress is spoken
and displayed during this process.
Finally, the system reboots again. If there are no new or changed setting values
in the firmware, the Main Menu loads, and your settings are restored. If setting
values have been changed, all Settings are initialized, and the system boots and
runs the Quick Guide.
