3. Important Instructions for Firmware Upgrade
-
Ensure your LaserPecker machine is connected to a stable power source and switched on.
-
Do not use or move your LaserPecker machine until the upgrade process is finished and the indicator light turns blue. Otherwise, it will interrupt the upgrade process and may cause a malfunction.
-
When the firmware upgrade is complete, turn the machine off and then turn it back on.
-
Avoid upgrading or downgrading the firmware arbitrarily unless necessary, as this can sometimes brick your LaserPecker unit.
