• PC (486 type or higher) with Microsoft "Windows" Operating System

• One COM-port free for usage

• The Data Transfer Cable (p/n 1-757-348-11)

PREPARATION FOR SOFTWARE UPDATE

• Copy all the files to the PC (define own directory).

• Connect the Data Transfer Jig to the PC COM-port (COM 1 or COM 2) and the CMD-Z7 external connector.

• Insert a test SIM in the CMD-Z7; this is because during the procedure the Flash Loader will attempt to

perform data control operations, which are not generally permitted by original SIMs. The test SIM is not

absolutely necessary for a generally software update, although it is useful.

• Attach battery pack to CMD-Z7; the CMD-Z7 is powered up from the battery pack.

• The initial settings of the flash.exe program may not correspond with the normally correct settings. It is highly

advisable to check the settings first (see 5.3 Software set-up).

5.3.1 ∗ Download Software to Mobile (Software Update)

• Start the program flash.exe by double-clicking on its icon in the Windows Explorer.
