How to check for, download and install Service Releases using ShopStream Connect on SOLUS
IMPORTANT: An uninterrupted power source to the diagnostic tool is crucial during an update, as any loss of power may damage the tool and render it inoperative. Therefore, use of the AC/DC Power Adapter is required. The Type A to Type B USB cable OR a ComplactFlash Card reader/writer is required for this process. If using a CF card reader/writer use the program CF card from Slot #1.
