7 When the 700 Color Computer finishes booting, insert the AB10 bat-
tery, then close the battery door.
You may use the 700 Color Computer. You have reset the 700 Color
Computer to its default configuration. You need to set the date and time
and to set its network communications parameters to reestablish commu-
nications with the other devices in the wireless network.
You can use the SmartSystems Console to upgrade the operating system on
your 700 Color Computer. The console is part of SmartSystems Founda-
tion and is available from the Intermec web site via the Intermec Develop-
er Library (IDL). Before you can upgrade your computer, you need:
S the SmartSystems Foundation. To download SmartSystems Foundation,
go to www.intermec.com/idl and open the Device Management page.
S the device upgrade .exe file. This file is available from the Intermec web
site at www.intermec.com. Go to Service & Support > Downloads.
Make sure the file you select is for your language.
1 Install SmartSystems Foundation on your PC and open the console.
2 Make sure the console and 700 Color Computers are on the same sub-
net.
3 Make sure your 700 Color Computers are either in a communications
dock or charging dock, such as the AD14 dock charger, or that power
management is disabled.
4 Download the device upgrade .exe file to your desktop PC.
5 Double-click the .exe file on your desktop PC. An InstallShield applica-
tion starts and walks you through the process of extracting the upgrade
files in the default location.
Note: Do not change the default location where InstallShield extracts
the files. The SmartSystems Console requires that the files be in this
location.
6 From the SmartSystems Console, locate the device upgrade to install.
7 Drag-and-drop the device upgrade onto each 700 Color Computer you
want to upgrade. The SmartSystems Console will tell you that it is
installing the upgrade on your 700 Color Computer.
Once the upgrade is done downloading to your 700 Color Computer,
your 700 Color Computer replaces the operating system and then auto-
matically performs a cold-boot. Progress messages do appear on the 700
Color screen.
The SmartSystems Console will show your 700 Color Computer as offline
(note the red stop sign) until the 700 Color Computer reboots and recon-
nects to the system.
