EC V4 tune received but how to install?

I just received my V 4tune from Jerry, problem is they're closed and I have no idea how to get it on to "mygenius" and then on my car. Can anyone here help? I had Dylen walk me through the first part of the setup which I couldn't figure out.

Save the file onto the handheld device and follow the instruction on page 10 of the MyGenius user guide. You can down load the user guide on EC website.

Make sure you hook up a battery charger to the car battery. The engine fan will run full power for about 3 min. It use a lot of power during that 3 min and if your ECU voltage drop to much you could fry your ECU. I just flash (V4tune) my last week. It's was scary.

Save the tune file in the email onto your computer somewhere that you can remember.

Connect the MyGenius device to the computer with the USB cable that came with it. The device should power up once connected to the computer.

Open the MyGenius software application. If the software sees the device connected, the DOWNLOAD button will be enabled.

Click the DOWNLOAD button and it will come up with a dialog box that lets you navigate to the place you stored the tune. You select it and say OK and it will load the tune into the device.

I have a little charger that I use to charge my bobcat battery when needed. I think it provides a "slow" charge. Should work right?

got it and seems my car in tuned. From a quick ride around the block it definitely feels better. Shifts much quicker and more crisp. Power seems much better as well. I probably wont ever dyno it so real numbers wont be confirmed but theres no doubt the car feels better. Thanks for all the help guys.
