    IMPORTANT: Be sure the update file name is MERGE.BIN and the file is located in the root folder of the USB flash drive.
  4. Put the USB flash drive into the USB port on the projector.
  5. Power the projector on. The update should automatically install, and when complete, the projector should automatically reset (you will see the multicolored Miroir Splash Page on the screen). Once the projector has reset, unplug the USB from the projector.
