Hi Bob,

The K3 Utility program has an excellent help system.  If you go into the
"Getting Started" section it should tell you what you need to know.
Basically, you connect an RS-232 cable between the computer and the K3,
fire up P3 Utility, and follow the directions.

It is easiest if you use a computer that is connected to the Internet.
That way K3 Utility can find and download the latest firmware
automatically.
