Upgrading Your CK31

There are two ways to upgrade your CK31:
• You can upgrade your computer using an SD card.
• You can upgrade your computer using SmartSystems
Console.
When you remotely upgrade your computer, you are updating
the operating system and the embedded Intermec Value Add
(IVA) files.

Upgrading the Operating System Using an SD Card

To upgrade the operating system, you need:
• an SD card.
• an SD card reader (optional).
• the latest upgrade 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.
You can use any file transfer method (ActiveSync, FTP server,
and so on) to copy the upgrade files to your SD card. Intermec
recommends using an SD card reader.
Note: If you are using an SD card reader to copy files to your
SD card, see "Installing the SD Card" on page 30 for
information on how to remove and insert the SD card.
When you upgrade the operating system, you erase the current
configuration and replace it with the new default configuration.
You will need to set the network communications parameters on
the CK31 to reestablish communications with the other devices
in the wireless network.
To upgrade the operating system
