<pre>KeySoft 7.2 Upgrade Instructions - 
BrailleNote and VoiceNote Classic. 

	
This document contains instructions on how to install the KeySoft 7.2 upgrade on 
your BrailleNote or VoiceNote Classic (referred to as your Classic throughout this 
document.) Separate 'Upgrade Instructions' are provided for each Notetaker model, 
that is, the mPower, PK and Classic. The instructions are different for each model, so 
you need to ensure that you are using the appropriate instructions for your model.

Use these Upgrade Instructions to upgrade your Classic to KeySoft 7.2 via the 
internet.

The KeySoft 7.2 upgrade requires that you are on KeySoft version 6.0 or higher. If 
your machine is not, then you will need to complete a separate installation procedure 
to upgrade your unit to at least 6.0 before continuing with upgrading to KeySoft 7.2. 
If you do not have access to a previous upgrade then please contact your Distributor.

It is essential that you read all of the following instructions before starting the 
upgrade. You might like to transfer them to another computer, emboss, or print them 
for reference during the upgrade process.

Should something go wrong during or after the installation, troubleshooting 
information is provided at the end of this document.

What you will need for the Upgrade.


As well as your BrailleNote or VoiceNote Classic, you will need the following:  

1.	A CompactFlash (CF) card.  You must use a CF card in the CF card slot on the 
Classic for the upgrade.  The CF card used for upgrading must be at least 64 
megabytes in size and no more than 512 megabytes.  It must be formatted as 
described in the 'Formatting your CompactFlash card' section.

2.	A way of downloading the KeySoft 7.2 upgrade file and copying it onto the CF 
card. You can download this file directly onto the CF using your Classic or 
download it using a PC with an internet connection and a Compact Flash card 
reader. The file is over 30 Megabytes in size, so if you are using a modem then it 
will take 1 to 2 hours to download. If you have faster access, then it's preferable to 
use it.

Warnings.


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

HumanWare strongly recommends that you backup your Flash Disk before 
performing the upgrade. 

Throughout the installation, your Classic must remain connected via the AC adapter 
at all times.

You must use the CompactFlash card slot on the back panel of the Classic, not the 
PCMCIA slot with an adapter.

Do not switch off, reset the unit, or remove the CompactFlash card at any time while 
the upgrade is in progress.

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

Formatting your CompactFlash card.


Note: If you have previously formatted a CompactFlash card (to FAT16) for 
installing KeySoft, you can reuse this card to install this upgrade.  Please go to the 
next section - 'Downloading the Product Key.'

The Classic installation software requires the CF card to be formatted for FAT rather 
than the more common FAT32.  Formatting erases all existing data from the card; so 
if your card contains data you want to keep, copy it to somewhere else before 
proceeding.  Formatting cannot be done on the Classic, so you will need access to a 
PC with a Compact Flash card reader.

To format the CompactFlash card prior to downloading the Product Key and 
software, you will need to follow these instructions:

1.	Obtain access to a PC with a CompactFlash card reader attached. 

2.	Place the CompactFlash card into the reader and ensure that you can access it.

3.	There are many ways to format a CompactFlash card from within the Windows 
environment, and only one is outlined here. If for some reason you need to use 
another method, consult your Windows documentation. Open Windows Explorer 
or My Computer and select the appropriate drive that refers to the CompactFlash 
card.

4.	Press SHIFT F10 to access the context menu. 

5.	Choose Format from the popup menu.

6.	A dialog will be presented with a number of different properties that can be set on 
the CompactFlash card and the one of interest is the one entitled "File System." 
Ensure that FAT is chosen from this combo box and not FAT32.

7.	Navigate to the Start or OK button and press ENTER. You will be presented with 
a warning dialog, explaining that formatting will destroy all information on the 
card. If you are happy with this then you should choose Start or OK and continue 
with the formatting.

The card is now ready to be used in the upgrade process.

Downloading the Product Key.


Before installing the 7.2 upgrade, you need a Product Key. Download it from our 
website as follows: 

1.	On a PC or your Classic, go to: 
http://pulsedata.propagation.net/SDW/User/Login.aspx 

2.	In the first input field, type your Classic's five digit serial number. This is in 
Braille on the bottom of your Classic and can also be accessed from within 
KeySoft. From the Main Menu, press SPACE with dots 2-4 (READ with I on the 
QWERTY) and press SPACE twice.

3.	The next field is a password field - type frog1. 

4.	Tab to the "logon" button and press ENTER. 

5.	On the page that appears, there is a group of radio buttons. The last one is called 
KeySoft 7.2 key. Check this button and then select "download" which is located 
below it.

6.	On the page that then appears, follow the link, "Click here to Download package." 
A File Download window appears. Select "Save." 

We recommend that you save it to your PC's desktop, or if using your Classic, to the 
root/top level directory (that is, not a subdirectory or folder) of the upgrade 
CompactFlash card. The file is called "KeySoft 7.2 Product Key (xxxx).exe" where 
xxxx is your serial number. Remember, this is not the upgrade itself, just the Product 
Key.

Installing the Product Key.


Now that you have the Product Key file, you can install it.

1.	If you haven't yet, copy the Product Key file to the root/top level directory of the 
CompactFlash card used for the upgrade.

2.	On your Classic, go to the Utilities Menu, and select the Application Program 
option.

3.	At the Drive prompt, select Compact Flash and at the Directory name prompt, 
select the root/top level directory. At the Program Name prompt, select the file 
"KeySoft 7.2 Product Key (xxxx).exe." At the prompt, "Command line?", press 
ENTER.

4.	A welcome message will be announced and displayed.

5.	Press ENTER. 

6.	After a brief pause, you will hear a completion message. Press ENTER again as 
advised. You are returned to the Utilities menu. The Product Key is now installed 
and you can go ahead and install the 7.2 upgrade software.
Downloading the KeySoft upgrade file.

Please follow these instructions to download and copy the KeySoft 7.2 upgrade file to 
your previously prepared CompactFlash card:

1.	On a PC or your Classic, go to: 
http://www.humanware.com/
Click on Support in top navigation
Click on BrailleNote in the left hand navigation, then Software
Select the link called 'Download KeySoft 7.2 Upgrade'
Select the link called "KeySoft 7.2 Classic Download" to download NK.bin.

2.	Save the NK.bin file to a known location on your PC, or if you are using the 
Classic, download it directly onto the CompactFlash card. Ensure that the NK.bin 
file is downloaded at the top level of the card and not in a folder. The KeySoft 7.2 
image file is large and if you are using a modem then this may take from 1  2 
hours. The file is around 30 Megabytes in size.

3.	If you have downloaded onto a PC you will then need to copy the NK.bin file 
onto the previously prepared CompactFlash card. Ensure that this file is 
downloaded at the top level of the card and not in a folder.

Installing the Upgrade.


1.	Ensure that your Classic is switched on, the AC Adapter is connected, and the 
CompactFlash card is inserted in the card slot. 

2.	Check that there is no card in the PCMCIA slot.

3.	Hold down dots 4 and 5 on the Braille keyboard (keys J and K on the QWERTY), 
and press the reset button on the left side of the unit, just behind the on/off switch. 
Keep holding down dots 4 and 5 (keys J and K on the QWERTY) until the unit 
makes a sound, at which point you can release the held down keys.

4.	The upgrade process will start and you will hear beeps every 1  2 seconds for 
around 30 minutes while the unit upgrades. 

5.	Note that if you have a Braille display, your Classic will display "Preparing", in 
Grade 1 Braille once the upgrade has started. It will also display a percentage 
indicator that rises from 0 to 100 as the upgrade progresses. When this number 
reaches 100, it will display: "Upgrading", followed by a percentage indicator. 
You will also notice a single dot which moves up and down as the upgrade 
progresses. 

6.	At the completion of the beeps, the new version of KeySoft will automatically 
start. Check that Version 7.2 is shown as the version number. 

Getting Started with KeySoft 7.2.


To find out what new functionality has been included in the KeySoft 7.2 release, read 
the 'What's New' section of your User Guide which can be accessed by following 
these steps:

1.	Go to the User Guide and select the Table of Contents.

2.	Go into the Table of Contents and press W for the 'What's New' section.

3.	To open the sub-index of the 'What's New' section, press ENTER.

4.	Information about the new functionality in KeySoft 7.2 has been divided into sub-
sections within the 'What's New' section. To read the contents of a sub-section, 
press SPACE repeatedly until you find a sub-section that you want to read, and 
then press ENTER.

Troubleshooting.


If you do not hear anything for 30 seconds or more after starting the installation:

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

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

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

4.	Restart the upgrade procedure by following the instructions from the beginning of 
the section, 'Installing the Upgrade.'

If you hear a message telling you that you cannot run this version of KeySoft after 
upgrading, then the Product Key has not been installed correctly. Copy the file 
"KeySoft 7.2 Product Key (xxxxx).exe" where xxxxx is your serial number, to the 
CompactFlash card and rename it pdiboot.exe. Place the CompactFlash card into the 
machine and press the reset button on the left side of the unit. Follow the instructions 
and at the end of the process remove the CompactFlash card and reset for a final time. 
KeySoft should now be operational. You must now delete the file pdiboot.exe from 
the CompactFlash card so it is not inadvertently run again.

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