NOTES:
• When downloaded from the Extron website, the firmware is placed in a
subfolder of C:\Program Files\Extron\Firmware.
• Valid firmware files must have the file extension .S19. A file with any other
extension is not a firmware upgrade.
• The original factory-installed firmware is permanently available on the switcher.
If the attempted firmware upload fails for any reason, the switcher reverts to
the factory-installed firmware.

The Total Progress and Progress status bars show the upload progress. The firmware
upload may take several minutes. Once the status bars have progressed from 0% to
100%, and Status is listed as Completed, the firmware loader utility resets the switcher.
