|}

=== Installation Note  ===

While you are installing the firmware update you will see a progress indicator on your computer screen in the {{L1 Updater}} application. You will not see any sign that anything is happening on the screen of the {{T1}}. 

After the update completes, you will not see the new firmware number on the screen of the {{T1}}. You will need to turn off the Power on the Power Stand and then turn it back on for the update to be recognized. You may have to restart the L1® Updater software too.

Note: You should restart your computer after applying the firmware update before attempting any further updates to your T1.

=== Fixes  ===

Version 1.3 fixes a rare issue with the power stand firmware update process. On earlier versions the power stand could be affected by two failed 'L1 model II Firmware' updates in a row. 

We recommend upgrading from 'L1 model II Firmware' version 1.0 or 1.1

==== System Hang / Blue Screen on T1™  ====
