*** note: An additional 3rd file *.EXX file (known as a patch file - the * name refers to and is the date of the file). If this is the case, repeat the same steps above (H-K) but load the patch file instead. There is no need to worry about the "bootloader upgrade" option or "s/w upgrade option", as there is no options available when loading the patch file. Patch file should be loaded LAST.

*** If you are unsure whether you should load a patch file or not, please check with your favorite FTA website first ***
