Re: Calling All Focus 40 Blue Users
I've attempted to do a google search and also search the FS website and the Focus 40 Blue manual. I've found no instructions for updating firmware. I have had this problem for over a year, and I'm reasonably sure others have, too. I think it would be great to post the instructions for firmware updating here, or perhaps a pointer for getting them.
