Central banks are constantly working on improving the quality and security of their currencies. Whenever they introduce a new banknote or discover a new high-end counterfeit, you can easily update your device by following the instructions below.
1. Switch on your computer, go to www.safescan.com/downloads and click on Bill Counters.
2. Then click on your device and select the part number that matches it. Not sure which part number you have? Carefully check the bottom of your device to find the serial number sticker. Then simply match the first seven digits of the serial number to one of the options on the website.
3. Select your part number on the website by clicking on it. The available updates will now be shown. Select the desired update package and download it to your computer. Please make sure to save the download on a location where you can easily find and access it.
4. Once the package has been downloaded, you need to unzip it. This can be done using the default file extraction tools of your Mac or Windows computer, or by using external software such as WinZip or WinRar. Usually unzipping a file is as easy as right-clicking on the file and choosing the option Extract Files or Extract Here.
5. Next, insert your USB stick or SD card into your computer. Please make sure to delete any existing files from the drive first, as it must be empty.
6. Go to the downloaded update package and go open the folder Currency Update. Copy the folder called Upfile (including all update files) on to the USB stick or SD card.
7. Remove the USB stick or SD Card from your computer and insert it into your device (while it is switched off).
8. Next, press and hold the START/OK button while you flip the power switch on the back of the device. Release the START/OK button when you hear a beep.
9. Your device will recognise the update and install it. The process can be followed on the screen.
10. When the update is installed, the device will beep continuously. Switch off the device and remove the USB stick or SD card.
11. Your device has now been updated with the latest currency software.
