SPECTRALIS 2
2.2 Preparations
2.2.1 Unpacking
You should find the following contents in your shipping box:
- Spectralis 2
- the power-cord
- this Spectralis 2 manual
- a backup DVD with the current patterns and samples/factory presets.
Please contact your retailer right away if any of the above items are missing.
You may also contact Radikal Technologies GmbH ([e-mail]). If
you do notice any physical damage to the Spectralis 2 after shipping, please
immediately contact the shipping company with your complaint. We will be
happy to assist you with further documentation if needed.
2.2.2 Set-Up
Place the Spectralis on a level, clean and sufficiently spacious surface or a suitable
Keyboard stand. Make sure that there is no obstruction to the ventilation slots. Avoid
operating the Spectralis close to technical equipment which generates heat.
In case you wish to install the Spectralis 2 in a 19” rack you can order the
optional rack-ears available at your retailer or directly from Radikal
Technologies. The Spectralis will take up 5 rack spaces plus a little extra head-
room room for the cables connected to it. Make sure to follow the instructions
described in the rack-setup instructions.
2.2.3 Firmware update
We currently are working full steam on adding more and more features to the Spectralis
firmware. For this reason we advise you to update your Spectralis whenever new
firmware versions are announced. To check for and obtain the latest versions you
can visit the user-forum of the Spectralis website http://www.spectralis.de/
phpBB2. In the section ”updates” you can easily download the latest versions -
free of charge of course. There are usually detailed descriptions available of
the new features or differences to previous releases. Please take time to read
the information provided for the respective firmware expansions or updates.
The update process is rather simple. However, it is definitely recommended to
read the update Info on the website first and to follow the instructions carefully
to ensure a successful upgrade process.

Firmware:
The Firmware is the
program operating
the Spectralis hard-
ware platform.
Contrary to the
hardware, which is
fixed, the firmware can
be updated to add new
functions or to improve
functionality
on your path to enlightenment! In case you do come across questions not
sufficiently addressed in this guide it is probably something we overlooked. In
any such case we invite you to visit the spectralis user forum at our Spectralis

We will be posting additional tips and tricks, FAQ-entries and example patterns
regularly, in the beginning probably quite frequently.
