Upgrading the Operating System

Introduction

Depending on the size of the operating system, the total time required for successful upgrade may require several minutes.
The OS upgrade files are unique to your MX7 Tecton's physical configuration and date of manufacture. OS upgrade files
designed for one device configuration should not be used on a different device configuration.

Updates and Language Options

Note: If the image to be updated is a non-English Language image (48M), tap to check the Non-English check box before
updating to a Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean or Japanese version of the OS. The update process
may take between 6 and 10 minutes when Non-English is checked. The Non-English check box is dimmed when the
Update is processing.
Same Language to Same Language
During the re-image process all settings revert to factory defaults. Parameters will need to be changed from factory defaults
to your preferred values at the conclusion of the update process.
Change Language during Re-image Process
When changing from one language to another during the re-image process, all files in the System folder will be deleted as
the system is re-partitioned and all system settings are cleared. Parameters will need to be changed from factory defaults
to your preferred values at the conclusion of the update process.

Preparation

• Contact Technical Assistance
• It is recommended that removing/installing the SD Flash card is performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
• Always perform MX7 Tecton updates when it has a fully charged main battery, a fully charged internal battery and a
dependable external power source connected to the MX7 Tecton I/O port.

Procedure

1. Place the new image files and MX7Update on a SD card.
2. Put the MX7 Tecton in Suspend Mode and remove the main battery pack.
3. Lift the rubber barrier and slide the SD card out of the slot. Do not remove the rubber barrier. The MX7 Tecton may not
have a SD card in the slot because the OS is in flash.
SD Card Location
4. Place the SD flash card with new image files on it into the SD slot. The label on the SD card should be facing up.
5. Launch MX7UPDATE.EXE in My Device > Storage Card.
6. Verify the desired checkboxes are checked and the unwanted checkboxes are not checked.
7. Important: If a failure occurs during the update, DO NOT RESTART (or coldboot). Follow the instructions on the screen
to Exit the update utility. Restart the update utility.
