If you read through the guide, you will realize that the model names are misleading, so you need to be very careful on this. If there is a -100 after the RND2000 you have a v1. If there is a -200, you have a v2.

The v2 units were introduced in Nov 2011 and there were both models available for a bit, so "3-4 years old" could be either one.
