CAUTION for “Update” Function
To avoid system crashes and irrecoverable states, you MUST:
•
Use AC power instead of Battery power when the tablet software is being updated.
•
NOT turn the system OFF when the tablet software is being updated.
The use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended.
(ii) Through Cradle USB Port
This method can also often be used to recover from corrupted flash memory in the tablet. The following describes
the procedure for updating firmware through the Cradle-USB port:
•
Client (7375) side
1. Place the 7375 on the Cradle; making sure that the mounting is physically secure.
2. Connect a USB cable from a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system to the cradle.
3. Press and hold the
Suspend
button for more than 4 seconds to completely turn off the power.
4. Press the
Suspend
button again to turn on the power and quickly (
BEFORE the display shows the Splash
Screen; you have about 1-3 seconds. If you miss this, then repeat Step c
) press and hold the
soft keyboard
button (Button #5) AND the
Cradle USB
button (Button #6) simultaneously. You should be able to see a
text-based Menu on the screen. Use the
4-way navigation
button to move up and down through the Menu
