8.4 Installing and updating Carlson Boretrak
If you have purchased a Boretrak2 system without an Android device then you must install the Carlson Boretrak
application on your own device. Instructions for doing this are below.
Whether or not you are using your own device, future software updates may be released in which case you will also
need to follow these instructions.
Please note that details of the Android screens may change slightly depending on the specific device chosen and
on the version of Android that you are using.
The new installer is supplied as an *.APK file which is loaded onto the Carlson USB drive supplied with each
Boretrak2 system. Connect the device to your PC using a USB cable. Copy the *.APK file from your PC to the root
drive of the device (Figure 65).
On the device, tap on the Settings icon and select Storage and USB > Explore. Within the Internal Storage
screen, navigate to the *.APK file.
