  3. Touch the “System Settings” tab;

Once the folder 'F-Series Firmware Update' has been opened, locate within it the sub-folders named 'LPUE080' and 'TTS'.

*If you do not have a decompression utility on your computer, you can download WinZip at http://www.winzip.com.

1-3. Transfer the 'LPUE080' folder and 'TTS' folder onto the top layer (folder) of your SD card. **

**You must use a SD card that is 512MB or larger and formatted with a FAT16 or FAT32 file system.
