KeySoft 7.2 BrailleNote and VoiceNote mPower Installation Instructions 

These instructions are for the BrailleNote mPower and VoiceNote mPower only. 
There are separate instructions for the PK and Classic. Ensure that you are 
using the appropriate instructions. 

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

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


What you will need to install the Upgrade.

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

1.	An SD card. This must be at least 64 megabytes in size and no more than 
512 megabytes. You must use an SD card in the SD card slot of the mPower for the 
installation. It must be prepared as described in the 'Preparing the SD card' 
section below.

2.	An internet connection for downloading the software and a way to copy it 
onto the SD card. You can download it directly onto the SD card using your 
mPower or download it using a PC with an internet connection and an SD card 
reader. The KeySoft 7.2 image is over 40 Megabytes in size, so if you are using a dial-up connection then it will take 2 hours or more. 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 installation.

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

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

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


Preparing the SD card.

IMPORTANT: You MUST use the following procedure to prepare the SD card before 
proceeding with the upgrade.

This procedure erases all existing data from the card, so if your card contains 
data you want to keep, copy it to somewhere else before proceeding.

1.	Insert the SD card into the SD card slot on the back of the unit.

2.	From the Main Menu choose Utilities by pressing U.

3.	From the Utilities Menu choose "Application program" by pressing A.

4.	When prompted for "Run program from which drive?", choose "KeySoft System 
Disk" by pressing K. At the prompt, "Directory name?", type Windows and press 
ENTER. You will then be prompted for "Program Name?". Choose "Prepare SD Card 
for Upgrade" from the List of Programs.

5.	When prompted for "Command Line?" press ENTER. You will then be asked for 
confirmation to continue and warned that continuing will erase the entire 
contents of your SD card. To continue, press Y.

Within a couple of seconds you should hear the response that the preparation of 
the SD card was successful.


Downloading the Software

For this upgrade, there are two pieces of software you need to download:

1.	The product key for your mPower.

2.	The Keysoft 7.2 software package.


Downloading the Product Key

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

2.	Enter your serial number and the password frog1 in the appropriate fields.  
Make sure the radio button called "KeySoft 7.2 key" is checked, then press Enter 
on the Download button.

3.	Save the Product Key file to a known location on your PC, or if you are 
using the mPower, download it directly into the "none" folder (root directory) 
of the SD card. 

4.	If you have downloaded onto a PC, copy the Product Key file to the "none" 
folder (root directory) of the previously prepared SD card. Do not copy it into 
a folder on the card.


Downloading the KeySoft 7.2 Upgrade file.

1.	On a PC or your mPower, go to: 
http://www.humanware.com/support/braillenote/keysoft_7.2_upgrade

2.	Select the link called "KeySoft 7.2 mPower Download" to download the file 
called NK.bin. 

3.	Save the NK.bin file to a known location on your PC, or if you are using 
the mPower, download it directly into the "none" folder (root directory) of the 
SD card. The file is large (over 40 Megabytes) so if you are using a dial-up 
connection downloading will take 2 hours or more. 

4.	If you have downloaded onto a PC, copy the NK.bin file to the "none" 
folder (root directory) of the previously prepared SD card. Do not copy it into 
a folder on the card.


Installing the Software

It is necessary to do this in two stages.  Before proceeding, please make sure 
you have the two necessary files in the "none" folder (root directory) of your 
SD card.

1.	Ensure that your mPower is switched on, the AC Adapter is connected, and 
the SD card is inserted in the card slot on the back of the mPower.

2.	Check that there are no cards in the other slots, that is, the CF and 
PCMCIA.

3.	If you haven't already, insert the SD card in the slot on the back of your 
mPower.


Installing the Product Key

1.	On your mPower, go to the Utilities Menu then select the option called 
"Application Program".  Browse the file list on your SD card and press 
Enter on the file containing your product key. 

2.	Follow the instructions given by KeySoft.

3.	After the product key is installed, you will hear a completion message. 
Press ENTER again as advised. You are returned to the Utilities menu. 


Installing the Software Package.

1.	Press and hold 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. 

2.	Note that if you have a Braille display, your mPower will shortly display: 
"Loading..." in Grade 1 Braille and a percentage that increases as the loading 
stage progresses. Your mPower will then display: "Erasing...", in Grade 1 Braille, 
followed by a percentage. A short while later, your mPower will display: 
"Writing..." and the same percentage as displayed previously. Note that your 
mPower will continue to display "Writing..." and the same percentage indicator as 
displayed previously until KeySoft starts. 

3.	At the completion of the beeps (about 10 to 15 minutes), the new version 
of KeySoft will automatically start. Check that Version 7.2 is shown as the 
version number.

4.	If you have KeySoft extensions installed, you may get a prompt like 
"System files have been updated. Press reset."  If KeySoft does not specify the 
type of reset required, press the reset button with no keys held down. 


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 SD card is correctly inserted into the slot at the back of 
the unit.

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

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

If you have other problems during or after the installation, please contact your 
Distributor.
