Caution: Before you Begin! :
*
FORMAT the SD CARD to insure that there are no files on the Card before you begin. If there are other files on the SD Card, the upgrade may not be recognized.

While the firmware upgrade may be performed with fresh batteries, Toshiba highly recommends the process be done with the use of the optional AC adapter. The AC adapter assures a stable power source for the upgrade. After the upgrade process, the AC adapter is an alternative to save battery usage while downloading pictures to your computer.
