Checking for Rates and Software Updates

When you select the Rates and Updates button on the Home screen, the system checks for available updates and downloads (for example, new graphic images) that it finds. Your system must be connected to the network to run this application.

  1. Select the Rates and Updates button on the Home screen.

    The system checks for updates and additional features. If updates are available, the system begins the download and displays the amount of time required to complete it.

  2. If you want to continue using the system while the download takes place, select the Download in the background button.

  3. Once the download is complete the Install updates dialog screen displays.

    NOTE: If you are processing mail when the download completes, the Install updates dialog will display once the system has completed the mail run.

    You are prompted to install updates.

  4. A countdown message appears on the Install updates dialog screen beginning at 5:00 minutes. The system will automatically install the update when the countdown reaches 0:00 minutes unless you select Install now or Install later.

    1. Select Install now if you want to install the updates at this time. Follow the prompts to complete the update installation.

    2. Select Install later if you want to install the updates at another time. The system opens the Rates and Updates Scheduler. You can use the scheduler to postpone the installation up to 4 times.

      NOTE: Try to schedule the update for a time when the system is powered up but not in use.

      NOTE: If the Scheduler is not setup, then after 24 hours from Power up the machine will automatically check and download any available update or graphics.

      NOTE: The rates and updates ready for install icon displays in the header bar as a reminder that there are files waiting to be installed.

      NOTE: Depending on the type of update the system will either restart or shut down. If it is a rate update, or an update to graphics, the system will restart. If it is a system or application update, the system will shut down.
