Software Upgrades

AGILE periodically makes improvements to the operating software for its

products. These software upgrades are available from AGILE for a nominal

charge during the warranty period. All future code modifications will be

made through replacement of the ROM cartridge. To upgrade to a new

version of the software, turn off the AGILE 6287 ALLY PLUS, remove the

ROM cartridge on the right panel, insert the new ROM cartridge, and restart

the ALLY PLUS. Then hold down the MODE button, turn off the unit and

turn it back on again, holding down the MODE button until the LED

displays an “8.” This will set all options to factory defaults.
