PIVOT Recommended Software Update
Procedures
This technical bulletin explains how to update the software on your PIVOT handsets most
efficiently and easily.
System Affected
Spectralink 87-Series Wireless Handsets - PIVOT
Description
Spectralink PIVOT handsets utilize the Android operating system and provide a number of
methods for updating the software. Because of the Android operating system there are some
considerations that need to be accounted for when attempting to update handsets.
Spectralink introduced the Android version known as KitKat in release 1.3. Prior releases of
software used the Android version known as JellyBean. Because of the differences in these two
Android software releases there are some underlying steps needed for software updates.
Any handset that is running version 1.0 or 1.1 will need to be updated to version 1.2 before
being updated to version 1.3. In order to update to the 1.4 release phones must first be on the
1.3 release. This has the potential to create several update steps in order to get your handsets
onto the most recent versions of software. Figure 1 below provides a diagram of the software
versions you must step through to update your handsets.
