You must leave the flashcard in the Book Port when updating, transfering, =
or using the device.
The new software will not work without the new firmware. In fact, the =
software tells you that you must have the new firmware.

Two questions:
1. Is the flash card to be removed from the BP any time the firmware is
being changed? If so, that's something I did not know, having left the =
card
in while trying to update.
2. Will the new version of the software work with the old version of the
firmware?

P.s>: Where can I get specific instructions about what to do and not to =
do
in upgrading-updating the firmware?
