the new product is older and requires updating.

(Four corner LEDs will blink yellow in circular pattern.)
10. Follow the on screen instructions. Ampliers with rmware associated with Lake Controller 6.5.0 or later will
automatically power cycle the mains power, whereas ampliers with older rmware will display a message
that a manual power cycle is required (Note: A manual power cycle requires the mains plug to be completely
removed, the standby button does not complete the rmware update.)
