Can Spectrum be upgraded to color?

Yes, all Spectrum scanners are color upgradeable. Determining which upgrade you need depends on what firmware version you have.

To view your scanner's model number, turn the scanner on or, if already on, press the CLEAR button on the front panel. In the lower left-hand corner of the scanner's LCD display, you will see the model number. Match up this model number with the one listed in the first column in the table below.

To see what firmware version resides on your scanner, just click the left arrow key on the front panel of the scanner until you see "Code Revision Numbers" on the LCD display – then click the "F3" key for "Next" and the firmware version will be displayed above "Scanner Rev." If the scanner displays a number less than 2.0, then match up your scanner's model number with the upgrade you would like in columns 2-4. If the scanner displays a number equal to or greater than 2.0, match up your scanner's model number with the upgrade you would like in columns 5-6.
