The LED indicator light next to the power switch will momentarily turn yellow, then alternate between red and green, then the Gemini will power up.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If firmware does not update (indicator light does not alternate red and green), the following may help:
- Use a freshly formatted (MS-DOS FAT) USB drive.
- Format the drive with a PC or by using the Disk Utility application on a Mac.
- Do not plug a newly FAT formatted USB drive back into a MAC before installing the update on a Gemini.
- Download the firmware hex file to the USB drive and have only that file on the drive.
FIRMWARE ARCHIVE
You can always revert back to a previous version of firmware. Simply download a previous firmware file from these archives and follow the typical install instructions.
