As per Al Gayzagian's suggestion, here are the instructions for the PK. KeySoft 7.2 Upgrade Instructions - BrailleNote PK. This document contains instructions on how to install the KeySoft 7.2 upgrade on your BrailleNote mPower PK (referred to as your PK 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 PK to KeySoft 7.2 via the internet. 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 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 7.2 upgrade file and copying it onto the CF card. You can download this file directly onto the CF card using your PK or download it using a PC with an internet connection and a Compact Flash 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. HumanWare strongly recommends that you backup your Flash Disk before performing the upgrade. 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 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 PK to stop functioning and require you to send it back for service. 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 PK, go to: http://www.humanware.com//Resources/KeySoft7.2Upgrade.asp Select the link, "Product Key Download." 2. In the first input field, type your PK's five digit serial number. This is in Braille on the bottom of your PK and can also be accessed from within KeySoft. From the Main Menu, press SPACE with dots 2-4 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 PK, 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 that will be used for the upgrade. 2. On your PK, 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 (xxxxx).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. You will now need to download two upgrade files (NK.nb0 and BrailleNote PK Upgrade.exe), and place them onto the CompactFlash card. Please follow these instructions to download and copy the KeySoft 7.2 upgrade files to your CompactFlash card: 1. On a PC or your PK, go to: http:// www.humanware.com//Resources/KeySoft7.2Upgrade.asp Select the link, "KeySoft 7.2 PK Download" to download NK.nb0. 2. Save the NK.nb0 file to a known location on your PC, or if you are using the PK, download it directly onto the CompactFlash card. Ensure that the NK.nb0 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 13 Megabytes in size. 3. If you have downloaded onto a PC you will then need to copy the NK.nb0 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. 4. From the same web page: http://www.humanware.com//Resources/KeySoft7.2Upgrade.asp Select the link, "BrailleNote PK Upgrader." Download the file entitled "BrailleNote PK Upgrade.exe" and place it onto the previously formatted CompactFlash card along with the KeySoft 7.2 upgrade. 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 PK is switched on, the AC Adapter is connected, and the CompactFlash card is inserted in the card slot at the back. 2. From the Main Menu, press U to select "Utilities" and press ENTER. 3. Select "Application Program" from the Utilities Menu. 4. When prompted for the program to run, select the "Compact Flash" drive. At the "Directory name?" prompt, select the root/top level 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 7.2? (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." This will be followed by the display, "off" and two beeps. 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. 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 displays: "KeySoft CE version 7.2." The upgrade procedure is complete once KeySoft returns to the Main Menu. 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 at 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. ________________________ Maurice Sloane New Zealand Sales & Support Consultant HumanWare Direct Dial: +64 3 940 2223 Mobile: +64 21 528 374 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.humanware.com ________________________ Maurice Sloane New Zealand Sales & Support Consultant HumanWare Direct Dial: +64 3 940 2223 Mobile: +64 21 528 374 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: www.humanware.com ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
