1 Introduction
This document provides instruction to replace the program ROM (firmware) in the Model 1092A/B/C

static protection is expected.
2 Required Equipment
1. Torx T-25 or large flat-blade screw driver
2. IC Removal Tool, curved tweezers or small blade screwdriver

2. Press ENTER on any menu to sequence through that menu's settings.
