1.1 Series 2 and Series 1 Reciters
Ongoing product improvements have meant that the processor in the reciter
control board has been upgraded with a SMARC (Smart Mobility
ARChitecture) module that provides faster start up times, as well as
capacity for future upgrades.
Due to this hardware change, series 2 reciters require version 3.10 or later
