Choosing the Best i-STAT 1 Handheld Update Method

JammLite

Always update the first i-STAT 1 Handheld using the JammLite method. It's best to update all Handhelds via
JammLite if they are readily available and near the PC you will use to run JammLite.
Handheld-to-Handheld
The Handheld-to-Handheld method is a good choice after the first Handheld has been updated via JammLite and
other Handhelds that need updating are not near the PC that was used to run the JammLite Utility.
