NOTE
Symbol recommends using a freshly formatted PC card for storing the upgrade files. Format
the PC card using the FAT file system in the host computer, then copy the upgrade files to the PC
card. The upgrade may fail if the PC card contains a corrupt file system.
The PC card uses the same slot as the RF radio card. Removing the RF radio card is not
recommended.
CAUTION When removing an access cover, follow proper ESD precautions to avoid damaging sensitive
components. These include, but are not limited to, working on an ESD mat and ensuring that the operator is
properly grounded. Failure to apply proper ESD precautions can damage the MK2200 and void the warranty.
NOTE
The MK Series includes two different platforms and operating files based on operating
systems for the MK2200 (wired) versus the MK2250 (RF).
