OK do it like this. Go to My Documents and create a new directory called "A1"
No quotes. Then right click on the file on your desktop. Tell it to extract the files to the "A1" directory in My Documents. Once extracted you will see 2 more .zip files. Again right click on each .zip file and pick extract to same name as the .zip file your extracting. Each time you do this it will create a new directory in the A1 folder.

Now that that is done. Hook up your cable to PC and Marker. Go to the A1 directory and click on the folder CP210x_VCP_Win2K_XP.exe now execute that file. It will install a COMM port for your PC. When your finished with that open the directory in your A1 folder "Series 1 Flash" Now using the setup.exe file install that software. Almost there!

Again in the same Series 1 Flash directory you will see another .zip file called Angel_Series_1_Flash_Utility. Extract that .zip file the same way you did the others. When completed open the new directory. Again run the setup.exe file in this new directory

Turn on your gun WITH A FRESH BATTERY.
start the file named "Angel_Series_1_Flash_Utility.exe"

Your marker should be flashed when finished.
