>ALL -- This is an important announcement about upgrading your knfbReader
>Mobile to version 6.1.9.  The problems we experienced when this upgrade was
>originally posted on Friday, Jan. 30 have been resolved.  Anyone who
>successfully installed version 6.1.9, which was posted on the knfbreader.com
>website on Friday, Jan. 30 should uninstall that version and reinstall the
>new application referenced in this notice and now available.
>
>
>
>Many of you will want to install this upgrade for yourself, but some may
>not.  This message should help you decide how much help you will need if
>any.  All Mobile Reader distributors are receiving detailed instructions.
>For those who need help with the upgrade, please contact your distributor
>for assistance.
>
>
>
>Before going further, you need to know that this upgrade process only
>applies to current reader users whose Readers speak either U. S. or U. K.
>English.  Upgrades for Readers that speak and read in languages other than
>U. S. or U. K.  English will be available through the distributors of those
>Readers and not through this process.
>
>
>
>Here are things you need to prepare for the upgrade:
>
>
>
>The user name and password needed to access your Reader account on the
>knfbreader.com website.  Access to your account is necessary to activate
>your Reader software the first time you try to use it after installation.
>Therefore, whether you know it or not, an account was established for you on
>the website at the time your Mobile Reader was first prepared for you to
>use.  Please contact your distributor to obtain your account log-in
>information if you do not have it.
>
>
>
>The serial number of your Reader.  You will need your serial number
>(normally a series of nine letters with a dash after the third and sixth
>letter), to complete activation of the software the first time you start the
>Reader after installation.  You can find your serial number on the outside
>of the product package, both in Braille and in print.  You can also get your
>serial number by loging into your "my reader" account and following the link
>for "view and manage my licenses."
>
>
>
>Uninstall your existing Mobile Reader before upgrading.  This point is
>covered in the installation instructions you will find under the download
>software link on the knfbreader.com website.
>
>
>
>Read installation instructions carefully.  Detailed instructions have been
>posted on the website to help everyone perform the upgrade correctly.
>Failure to follow the instructions is likely to result in an incorrect
>installation with the Reader failing to function as intended.
>
>
>
>Files to install.
>
>The first file you need to install for the upgrade is called:
>"knfbReader_v6_1_9.sis."  Before installing this file you need to decide if
>you will also want your reader to be able to read foreign language text.
>If you decide you want to install any other language aside from U. S.
>English, or U. K. English as the primary language installed immediately
>after the reader application, you must install the basic reader file and any
>language packs to the memory card of your phone rather than to the phone
>memory.  If you only want the reader to read in English, you can choose to
>install the Reader application and the U. S. or U. K. English language pack
>to the phone memory.  The choice to install to the phone memory or the
>memory card is presented on your phone during the installation process.  All
>installed files must be in the same place, which means either to the phone
>memory or the memory card.
>
>
>
>The second file to install is the U. S. or U. K. language pack.  The U. S.
>language pack is called: "Reader_ENU_7_1_0.sis"
>
>The U. K. language pack is called: "Reader_ENG_7_5_0.sis"
>
>
>
>for users who purchased the Mobile Reader at the original full U. S. price
>of $1,595, or comparable full foreign price for U. K. Readers, before the U.
>S. price reduction to $995.00 in mid November, 2008, you can install and
>activate two foreign language packs in addition to your primary language.
>You can choose the foreign languages you want from the list of language
>packs available on the website posted below the primary languages of U. S.
>English or U. K. English.
>
>
>
>Activate the upgrade.  After you have installed version 6.1.9, you will need
>to follow the activation steps the first time you start the Reader.  Press
>the left selection key when prompted for "next" to start this process.
>Detailed steps for the activation process are included in the installation
>instructions.
>
>
>
>Further assistance.  Please contact your Mobile Reader distributor for
>further assistance with this upgrade.  After you have done so, please
>contact support at knfbreader.com or call (877) 547-1500 if your distributor is
>unable to satisfy your need.
