of the Pinger Plus (see Pinger IP Address Setup screen) and your password.
When the update is complete the program will notify the user and the Pinger Plus
immediately goes to the Link screen and searches for the Link.
WARNING: Any disruption while programming is in process will result in the unit
being unuseable and will have to be returned to the factory for repair. Install a fresh
set of batteries or connect the AC adapter to the unit before starting an update.
