KeySoft 7.5 BrailleNote PK Upgrade Installation Instructions 


These instructions are for the BrailleNote PK only. There are separate 
instructions for the mPower 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 PK, you will need the following:  

1.	A CompactFlash (CF) card.  This must be at least 32 megabytes in size.

2.	An internet connection for downloading the software and a way to copy it 
onto the CF card. You can download it directly onto the CF card using your 
PK or download it using a PC with an internet connection and a CF card reader. 
One of the files is over 13 Megabytes in size, so if you are using a dial-up 
connection 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.

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

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

Do not switch off, reset the unit, or remove the CF 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 PK to stop functioning and require 
you to send it back for service.


Downloading the Product Key.

Before installing the 7.5 upgrade, you need to download a 7.5 product key from 
our website as follows:  

1.	On a PC or your PK, go to: 
http://www.humanware.com/support/braillenote/keysoft_7.5_upgrade

2.	Select the link called "Product Key Download".

3.	Enter your serial number and the password frog1 in the appropriate fields.  
Make sure the radio button called "KeySoft 7.5 key" is checked, then press Enter 
on the Download button.

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

5.	If you have downloaded onto a PC, copy the Product Key file to the "none" 
folder (root directory) of the CF card.


Downloading the KeySoft 7.5 Upgrade Software.

You will now need to download two installation files (NK.nb0 and BrailleNote PK 
Upgrade.exe), and place them onto the CF card.

Please follow these instructions to download and copy the KeySoft 7.5 upgrade 
files to your CF card:

1.	On a PC or your PK, go to:  
http://www.humanware.com/support/braillenote/keysoft_7.5_upgrade

2.	Select the link, "KeySoft 7.5 BrailleNote PK Download" to download NK.nb0. 

3.	Save the NK.nb0 file to a known location on your PC, or if you are using 
the PK, download it directly into the "none" folder (root directory) of the CF 
card. The file is large (around 13 Megabytes) so if you are using a dial-up 
connection this will take about 40 minutes.

4.	From the same web page: 
http://www.humanware.com/support/braillenote/keysoft_7.5_upgrade
Select the link, "PK Downloads", then the link called "BrailleNote PK Upgrader" 
to download the file entitled "BrailleNote PK Upgrade.exe".  Save the file to a 
known location on your PC, or if you are using the PK, download it directly into 
the "none" folder (root directory) of the CF card. 
 
5.	If you have downloaded onto a PC you will then need to copy both files to 
the "none" folder (root directory) of the CF card.


Installing the Software

Before proceeding, ensure that you have the three necessary files on your CF 
card.  Also check that your PK is switched on, the AC Adapter is connected, and 
the CF card is inserted in the card slot at the back.


Installing the Product Key

1.	On your BrailleNote, go to the Utilities Menu then select the option 
called "Install KeySoft extension".  Browse the file list on your CF 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 upgrade.

1.	From the Main Menu, press U to select "Utilities".

2.	Select "Application Program" from the Utilities Menu by pressing A

4.	When prompted for the program to run, select the "Compact Flash" drive. At 
the "Directory name?" prompt, select the "none" folder (root) directory by 
pressing dots 3-4, followed by ENTER.

5.	When prompted for the program name, access the "List of programs" and 
choose the file, "BrailleNote PK Upgrade.exe", by pressing SPACE repeatedly and 
ENTER to select it.

6.	When prompted for "Command line?", press ENTER again. Follow the 
directions and instructions until KeySoft prompts: "Install KeySoft 7.5? 
(It is recommended that you backup your BrailleNote before installing)."  
Press Y for Yes or N for No. If you press N, you will return to the 
Utilities Menu. If you press Y, KeySoft will prompt: "BrailleNote PK upgrade: 
please wait while installing. To start the installation process, press ENTER."

       Note that up to this point, all prompts are in both speech and Braille.

7.	After you have pressed ENTER, your PK will display "Utilities Menu." The 
full upgrade process should start, and you will hear beeps every 1  2 seconds 
for a few minutes whilst the unit upgrades. During this time, your PK will 
continue to display "Utilities Menu."

8.	KeySoft will announce and display: "BrailleNote PK upgrade: installation 
complete. To continue, press reset." Reset your PK by pressing and holding down 
the two control keys known as C1 and C4 (consult the BrailleNote mPower PK User 
Guide if you need further details about these keys), until two beeps are heard. 
This will be followed by the display, "off" and two beeps. 

9.	Release and hold down C1 and C4 again until two beeps are heard a second 
time. KeySoft displays: "BrailleNotePK." The Braille display then clears, and a 
few seconds later KeySoft starts.  Check that keysoft Version 7.5 is shown as 
the version number.

The upgrade procedure is complete once KeySoft returns to the Main Menu.


Troubleshooting.

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