<pre>KeySoft 7.01 Upgrade Instructions - BrailleNote PK.

The Keysoft 7.01 upgrade requires that you are on Keysoft version 7.0. If your 
machine has a previous version, then you will need to complete a separate installation 
procedure to upgrade your unit to 7.0 before continuing the upgrade to Keysoft 7.01. 
If you do not have access to the version 7.0 upgrade, then please contact your 
distributor.

This document contains instructions on how to install the KeySoft 7.01 upgrade on 
your BrailleNote PK.  The mPower and Classic models require different instructions 
and different upgrade files.  These are also available on the HumanWare website at: 
http://www.humanware.com/support/braillenote/keysoft_7.01_upgrade  Ensure 
that you are using the appropriate instructions and files for your model.

It is essential that you read all of the instructions before starting and you have them 
available during the upgrade.  You might like to transfer them to another computer or 
emboss or print them.
 
Should something go wrong during the installation, troubleshooting information is 
provided at the end of this document.


What you will need.

As well as your PK, you will need the following:  

1.  A CompactFlash (CF) card.  This must be at least 64 megabytes in size.

2.  A way of downloading the Keysoft 7.01 upgrade files and copying them onto the 
CF card.  You can download these files directly onto the CF card using your PK or 
download them using a PC with an internet connection and a CompactFlash card 
reader.  One of the files is over 13 Megabytes in size, so if you are using a modem 
then it will take about 40 minutes.  If you have faster access, then it's preferable to use 
it.


Warnings.

The following warnings are very important. Please read and follow.

1. We strongly recommend that you backup your Flash Disk before starting the 
upgrade.

2. Throughout the installation, your PK must remain connected to the AC adapter at 
all times.

3. Do not switch off, reset the unit, or remove the CF card at any time during the 
upgrade except when instructed to do so.

4. Once the installation commences, you must let it run to completion.  Stopping the 
upgrade part way through may cause the PK to stop functioning and require you to 
send it back for service.


Downloading the Upgrade Files.

If you have received a copy of KeySoft 7.01 already on a CF card then go directly to 
the section, 'Installing the Upgrade' below.

The Keysoft 7.01 upgrade files can be downloaded from our website. If you do not 
have access to the internet then please contact your distributor. 

To download and copy the files to your CF card, follow these instructions:

1. On a PC or your PK, go to: 
http://www.humanware.com/support/braillenote/keysoft_7.01_upgrade 
Select the link, "KeySoft 7.01 BrailleNote PK Download (build 25)".

2. Save the file (NK.nb0) to a known location on your PC, or if you are using the PK 
to download, then save directly into the root/top level directory (in other words, not a 
subdirectory or folder) of the CF card.

3. From the same web page select the link, "BrailleNote PK Upgrader" saving it to the 
same folder on your PC or directly into the root/top level directory of your CF card.

3. If you have downloaded onto a PC, copy both the NK.nb0 and BrailleNote 7_01 
PK Upgrade.exe files into the root/top level directory of the CompactFlash card.


Installing the Upgrade.

1. Ensure your PK is switched on, the AC Adapter connected, and the Compact Flash 
card is inserted in the card slot at the back of the PK.

2. From the Main Menu choose Utilities by typing "U" or using the spacebar, cycle 
through the options until you get to "Utilities" and press ENTER.

3. Choose "Application program" from the Utilities Menu.

4. You will now be prompted to choose the program to run. Choose the "Compact 
Flash" drive and at the "Directory name?" select the root directory by typing slash 
(dots 3-4), followed by Enter. 

5. At the Program Name prompt, access the "List of programs" and find the program, 
"BrailleNote PK 7_01 Upgrade.exe" by pressing SPACE repeatedly. When 
"BrailleNote PK Upgrade.exe"is displayed, select it by pressing Enter.

6. When asked for "Command line?" just press ENTER.

7. First the upgrade program displays a few messages.  Respond to these as instructed.  
The upgrade then starts and you will hear beeps every 1 - 2 seconds for around 10 
minutes.  Once this is complete a completion message is displayed.

8. To run the new version, reset the PK as follows: Press and hold down the two 
control keys (C1 and C4), until two beeps are heard and then release and hold them 
down again until two beeps are heard a second time. If you are unsure of which keys 
C1 and C4 are, consult the PK User Guide.

9. The PK has now been reset and when Keysoft restarts the new version will be 
running. Check that it displays the version as 7.01. 


Troubleshooting.

1. If you do not hear anything for 30 seconds or more, try restarting the upgrade 
procedure, following the instructions from the start.

2. Check that the CF card is correctly inserted into the slot on the back of the unit.

3. Ensure that there is no "PDIBoot.exe" file on the CF card.

4. Ensure that the mains plug and AC adapter are inserted correctly.

5. If you have problems with your email, address book or planner after upgrading, 
please contact your distributor.</pre>
