	FlashIt Utility v1.06 for FCR-U26/1 Readers
	--------------------------------------------------

		
Before begining the flash upgrade process, it will be necessary to install the FCR-U26/1 Reader driver software if you
have not already done so.  Driver software installation is necessary on Windows 98SE, 2000,and 2000(SP1, SP2) 
but is not necessary on Windows Me, XP and 2000(SP3).


Flash Upgrade Procedure:


1). Begin by decompressing the "6in1_v512.zip" file into a location of your choice. 

2). Connect the FCR-U26/1 Reader to your computer's USB port and ensure that the card reader is recognized by the system. 
    If the card reader is recognized correctly, you should receive two "Removable Disk" drive letters in either "My Computer" 
    or "Windows Explorer". 

    NOTE: It is recommended, but not required that the FCR-U26/1 Reader be the only USB card reader connected to the system 
          with a minimal number of accompanying USB devices. If possible the FCR-U26/1 should be connected directly to the 
          PC instead of a USB Hub.

3). Now, remove any digital media cards from the FCR-U26/1 Reader.  If a digital media card is inserted in the FCR-U26/1 
    Reader while running the flash upgrade utility, the data on the media may be lost and/or corrupted.

4). Locate the folder where you decompressed the "6in1_v512.zip" file.   

5). Double-click the "Flashit.exe" file located within the folder.  This will begin the flash upgrade process.
	
    NOTE: While using the flash upgrade utility, do not shutdown the computer or disconnect the FCR-U26/1 Reader until all 
          download operations are complete. 

6). A user dialog will appear on the desktop showing progress of the download operation. Because the FCR-U26/1 Reader 
    contains 2 separate digital media slots, the "FlashIt" utility will need to download two sets of firmware code for each 
    of the media slots respectively. 

7). After the first set firmware has completed, the text "Download Completed Successfully" will appear directly above the 
    progress bar. click the "Next" button to begin the next download (second set of firmware). 

8). During the second Download operation, a prompt may appear requesting the location of the "EUSBDFU.sys" driver. 
    Provide the path to the same folder where FlashIt.exe resides as the "EUSBDFU.sys" file will also be located in this 
    folder.  This is only a transitional driver for upgrading the FCR-U26/1 Reader. 

    NOTE:  Windows XP users, during the installation of the EUSBDM DFU adapter another message will appear.  
           This message states that the drivers have not yet passed Windows XP Logo testing. This driver has been 
           extensively tested in Windows XP and should be safe to use. Choose the option to "Continue Anyway".

9). Once the second download operation has completed successfully, once again the text "Download Completed successfully will
    appear directly above the progress bar. This indicates that the FCR-U26/1 Reader has successfully been upgraded with the
    latest revision of firmware code available. Click the "Close" button to complete the flash upgrade and exit out of the
    FlashIt utility.


Additional Notes:
Once the FCR-U26/1 Reader has been successfully upgraded, you may find that 2 new files have been created. These are backup 
files of the previous versions of the firmware originally in the FCR-U26/1 Reader. These are mainly for reference purposes 
or in case there should ever be a need to restore the product to its original form.
