Using the improper system program may damage the data or system. Note: Use the supplied AC adapter for the update. Do not use batteries for the power supply during the update. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update procedure The update procedure is described below. Note: Do not turn off power to the R-09 unit until the update is completed. Note: Settings such as the display contrast and recording format are initialized during the update. We recommend copying down important settings before beginning. 1. Turn power off to the R-09. 2. Insert the SD memory card in the R-09. 3. Turn power on to the R-09 unit. 4. Connect the R-09 to the computer with the USB cable. -> The R-09 is detected by the computer. 5. Copy the DMZ15.UPD file (already extracted) to the R-09 root directory. 6. Disconnect the R-09 from the computer in the following manner. [Safely disconnecting the R-09] When using Windows Disconnect the connection with the R-09 using the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon located in the taskbar in the lower right part of the screen.

If "PROG: 1.10" is already displayed, there is no need to update. Press the [POWER] button to turn off power. If the SD memory card cannot be detected, "-- no card--" is displayed; if the update cannot be found on the SD memory card, "--no update file--" is displayed.
