===Set Up Your Cradle===

-

It is likely that you are using your OPH1004 in conjunction with one of the cradles [[CRD1001]], [[CRD1002]], or [[CRD1003]].

+

A cradle is required to load firmware onto your OPH1004. More information about the [[CRD1001]] cradle can be found [[CRD1001|here]]. If you are using USB drivers install them now. Do not connect the cradle to the computer via USB until these drivers are installed. If the cradle was already plugged in simply disconnect and reconnect it. Power must be connected to the cradle at all times (even with a USB connection).

===Install and Configure Appload===

-

Appload is a PC application that we use to load firmware on most of Opticon's devices. Once it is installed (by running the installer found in the Downloads table at the bottom of the page) it will launch automatically. Change the options 'Settings' > 'Port' to match the COM port of either the USB or RS232 interface (whichever was used). You may also need to change 'Settings' > 'IrDA Adapter/cradle type' to be 'Not Installed'.
