These upgrades will usually be a combination of bug fixes and additional features. Whilst
connected, click on the “Download and Install Upgrade” button in order to download over the

(FTP) link to the Service Providers web site. Once complete, the new image is then available
on the PC hard disk, and may be transferred to the Wireless Broadband Modem by clicking on
the “Upgrade UE” button (remember to Disconnect from the Internet before attempting the
upgrade).
