HDS Gen3 software upgrades

card.
Update may be initiated at boot up - simply insert the microSD card
before turning unit on, boot unit, and follow on-screen instructions.
Alternatively, in the les menu, locate the update le on the
microSD card and select ‘Upgrade’, followed by ‘This Display’. Accept
the prompt to reboot the unit, and wait a few moments as the unit
restarts. Do not remove the microSD card or repower the HDS Gen3
until the process is completed (this will typically take no more than
a couple of minutes).
Software upgrade of remote device
It is possible to run an update remotely from one display and apply
it to another display, provided they are networked via ethernet. This
is only possible for displays without an SD card slot.
