After verifying the BK-3 power is off, plug the USB memory into the BK-3's USB MEMORY port.
Keeping the [ WRITE ] button pressed, power on the BK-3. Hold the WRITE Button until the "Update Mode:" text appears on the top line of the LCD of BK-3.
Wait until the end of the update; the display will show "SUCCESS".
Note: The update procedure takes about 20 minutes. During the update the LCD content may change a few times.
Switch off the BK-3.
