The Software Update function will load/update the software components with the software file stored on an external memory device. The update version must be greater than the current version running on the terminal. If not, it will revert to the current version.

This step procedure describes how to perform a software update for the RL/FT5000/RL/RT2000. You will need a Flash drive device (USB storage device) with the terminal software loaded in it.

1   Connect the USB external memory device to the Docking Board assembly (X-Scale) or the X2 Main Board assembly (X2). Make sure to allow time for the memory device to be read by the terminal.

2   Enter Management Functions > Main Menu > System Parameters > Software Update. The above screen appears.

3   The Look in field should be the USB location. If it’s not present, press CANCEL to leave the Software Update screen and then re-enter the same screen. When the Look in field has USB present, the Filename field should have the terminal software, size, and date/time attributes for each file loaded in the USB drive. NOTE.

4   Use the arrow keys (< and >) to highlight the selected file. Press ENTER when selected.

5   A screen will appear verifying the selected file and prompt to restart the terminal. Press ENTER to continue.

6   The terminal will restart at this time and the installation of the software will be performed automatically. After the terminal completes it’s reboot sequence, remove the USB drive device.

NOTE: An additional restart is recommended after the file is loaded.
