When you get a new TV it will be in virgin mode. This means that you will have to go through the
virgin installation wizard to perform the first configuration of the TV.
5.1 Instant Initial Cloning (IIC)
5.1.1 General
When starting up the TV in virgin mode you see the first screen indicating Instant Initial Cloning (IIC).
The TV is now searching on USB and RF for a new clone file containing all new settings for the TV.
You can also see the model name and SW version of the TV. If there is no need to load a clone file on
this TV (for example if you want to make a new installation to create a master clone file) then you
need to press “OK” to activate the skip button.
5.1.2 Upgrading and configuring the set
If you want to upgrade the TV software and load a new clone file in the TV you have to perform the
following steps:
Power on the set in virgin mode
Insert a USB device with both the new SW and the clone file you want to load in the TV
The TV will first upgrade the new SW version. After upgrade of new SW version is done, the
TV will restart and will detect the clone file to update the TV settings.
Remark: An EasySuite 3011 upgrade consists of 2 UPG’s that
have to be run sequentially. The first is the Autorun.upg which
contains the firmware for TV. And the Autorun_webkit.upg
which contains the web browser engine.
Note: If multiple clone files are on a USB device, the file called
“MasterCloneData” will be used for cloning
