Command Line Interface

Notes
• My Device\System is a priority searching location for the source file, so if My Device\Storage
Card is an intended source, make sure there is no corresponding file in My Device\Storage
Card.
• If main battery life is less than 50%, there will be a message box popup to warn user. The
application will wait for user's confirmation before proceeding to update.
• In case of update error, the application will not reboot the system, instead, it will show the
error message on screen and wait for user's confirmation to proceed.
• If available, always perform MX8 updates when there is a fully charged backup battery and/or
a dependable external power source connected to the MX8.
