REMOVING PREVIOUS SOFTWARE VERSIONS
Before installing the new software, remove all older versions of the software on the handheld.
The Factory Reset/Clean Boot method (1) is recommended. Read the descriptions below and choose the appropriate
procedure based on your handheld setup.
1. Removing the Previous Software Version Using Factory Reset/Clean Boot (Recommended)
Factory reset or "Clean Boot" is the recommended method for removing previous versions of the meter reading
software. This procedure resets the Trimble Ranger to "factory fresh" condition and removes all previously added
software. Refer to "Removing Software Using Factory Reset/Clean Boot (Recommended)" on page 7.
IF YOU ADDED ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE TO THE HANDHELD THAT YOU DO NOT WANT TO REMOVE, SEE THE
ALTERNATIVE METHOD, "REMOVING SOFTWARE USING REMOVE PROGRAMS" ON PAGE 8.
2. Removing the Previous Software Version Using Remove Programs (Alternative)
The Windows tool, "Remove Programs," allows you to select the programs you want to remove. It can be used
when the handheld has other software that you do not want to remove. Refer to "Removing Software Using Remove
Programs" on page 8.
3. (Kiosk mode) Removing the Previous Software Version
For handhelds in Kiosk mode, use procedure 1, "Removing Software Using Factory Reset/Clean Boot (Recommended)" on
page 7, to remove previous Kiosk software and all other previously added software.
If you previously added software to the handheld that you do not want to remove, use the instructions "Removing
Software in Kiosk Mode" on page 11.
No Previous Software
If there is no previous version of the ORION Field Application software on the handheld, go directly to "Installing Software" on
page 14.
