1. Introduction

This document provides information on how to check the current BIOS version and on how to
update the BIOS on the Elo Tablet (hereafter referred to as the tablet). The latest BIOS file may
be obtained by contacting Elo Technical Support.

The latest BIOS is as follows:
BIOS filename: V019ALL.exe.
This BIOS Version will be listed in InfoAbout (discussed in Chapter 2) as V019.

supply via the AC/DC power adapter kit during a BIOS update. Close all programs before
updating the BIOS. The tablet will reboot when the update is completed.
