Do not remove power from the unit until it boots into the new
Operating System.

“erasing PSM, please wait…”. After the progress bar completes, the unit will
go blank for about 15 seconds and then boot into the new OS.

7. A touch screen calibration screen will also appear. The OS update is now

complete.

8. After performing the calibration, wait 5 to 10 minutes before doing a registry

back-up to save the new touch screen settings; the unit is still writing some
files at this point. After doing the registry back-up, you are now ready to
load ME Station.
