Location: MN		Get on youtube and search for your brand/model finder update.
Lot's of info there.
The firmware updates are rather easy once you know how to do it.

Location: Lake Elmo, MN		You absolutely can "handle it". Just don't try to make it do too many things right away. Start with bottom contour and hardness. Then move to all the other things it can do.....but do it in stages. If you try to read a manual cover to cover, or get all the features right away, you'll be overwhelmed and hate the thing.

It's a terrific tool when used correctly.

Do you know if you actually even need the update? Sometimes its for features you may not even use. Perhaps just read through the release notes and see if its something you want to tackle otherwise just use it as it is as long as there isn't a technical problem.
