Installation Using AirBEAM
See AirBEAM Smart on page 4-16 for information on AirBEAM.
Image Update
Windows Mobile 5.0 contains an Image Update feature that updates all operating system components. All
updates are distributed as update packages. Update packages can contain either partial or complete updates
for the operating system. Symbol distributes the update packages on the Support Central Web Site,
http://support.symbol.com
.
To update an operating system component, copy the update package to the EDA using one of a variety of
transports, including ActiveSync, an SD memory card, or Symbol AirBEAM. Then, initiate the update using one
of the following methods:
•
Double-tap the package file in File Explorer (similar to extracting a CAB file)
•
Perform a special boot sequence that initiates the update.
•
Use AirBEAM.
To initiate an update:
1. Go to the Support Central web site, http://support.symbol.com.
2. Download the appropriate update package.
3. Copy the update package to either the \temp directory on the EDA, or to a storage card.
4. Connect the EDA to AC power. See Chapter 2, Accessories.
5. Simultaneously press the Power button and the 1 and 9 keys.
6. Immediately, as soon as the device starts to boot and before the splash screen is visible, press and hold
the left scan button.
7. The Update Loader application first looks for a file on a storage card. If it does not find it, it looks in the
\temp directory.
NOTE The EDA must have at least 5 MB of free space to perform an OS update.
