12.1 Software upgrade and Instant Initial Cloning

Software upgrade and cloning can be done without going through the installation wizard.

When the installation wizard is displayed, it is possible to directly upgrade the FW or install the TV with a clone file

taken from another similar TV. To be able to upgrade you have to have a USB stick plugged in with a valid FW and/or

clone file(s) before starting the TV.

For xxHFL2839:

A valid FW should have VES161HE_upgrade.bin as file name and placed in the root directory of the USB stick.

For xxHFL2849:

A valid FW should have VES162HE_upgrade.bin as file name and placed in the root directory of the USB stick.

For xxHFL2859:

A valid FW should have VES163HE_upgrade.bin as file name and placed in the root directory of the USB stick.

For xxHFL2869:

A valid FW should have VES171HE_upgrade.bin as file name and placed in the root directory of the USB stick.

For xxHFL2879:

A valid FW should have VES172HE_upgrade.bin as file name and placed in the root directory of the USB stick.

If a valid FW is found on the USB stick, you can upgrade the FW by pressing the RED button on the guest remote

control. After the FW is loaded successfully, the TV will go to standby mode, program the FW in the TV while flashing

the red LED on the TV and boot up again with the installation wizard.
