ATTENTION: Risk of permanent equipment damage exists. Once a flash
update has been started, do not remove power from the drive (or the
22-XCOMM-DC-BASE External Comms Kit, if used) until after the
download has completed and the MOD status indicator on the adapter
becomes FLASHING GREEN. If power is removed before this occurs, the
adapter may be permanently damaged. An adapter that has been damaged
in this way cannot be repaired.
