3. SOFTWARE UPGRADE (For Upgrades Only)
a. Verify tasking is an upgrade. Customer must have an operational copy of
FuelMaster
®
software with an existing FuelMaster
®
database. If an existing database
does not exist, software must be a new install.
b. Disable any auto download settings and stop all services. Some services may
prevent proper setup and operation of the FuelMaster
®
software. After the software is
loaded and verified it functions properly, restore the services one at a time to determine
any effect they may have on software operation.
c. Retrieve transactions from all FMUs. This is to pull the transactions from the FMUs as
insurance against possible download problems after the upgrade. FMUs will have more
memory to operate longer.
d. Retrieve and record unit configuration and options. This will ensure the database has
the current unit configuration and options if they need to be reloaded after the upgrade.
e. Make a copy of the customer’s existing software database and save to the desktop.
Insurance against the database being damaged during the upgrade.
f. Upgrade the customer’s existing software using a local computer administrator log
on. Software upgrades require computer connections with an administrator password.
NOTE
In step g, if not prompted “Database Conversion Finished”, or if other errors occurred,
discontinue upgrade and call Syn-Tech’s Customer Satisfaction Center (CSC) at 800-888-9136,
ext. 1500, for assistance.
g. When the upgrade is complete, restart the customer’s computer and verify the
database opens with the new software. From the main menu, open the vehicle, user,
customer databases. Verify the information is accurate.

without errors. NOTE: when first powered, new FMUs in cold, damp environments may
display error messages until warmed up and dried out. Let the FMU run a couple hours
before assuming there are parts problems.
