18 Firmware Update
You can check for updates for
your CryptoPhone 500’s firm-
ware from the CryptoPhone
“Settings” menu.
The phone will connect to
GSMK’s update servers, and
check for updates that are
compatible with your phone’s
hardware and firmware version.
If an updated firmware version
is available, a list of changes to-
wards your current version will
be shown.
If you press the “Update now”
button, the firmware image
will be downloaded and crypto-
graphically verified. When the
verification succeeds, the firm-
ware image will be written to
your phone’s flash memory.
Follow the on-screen instruc-
tions. The data on your phone
will not be erased by a firm-
ware update.
Note: A full firmware image can
be up to 200 Megabytes. Make
sure that you use WiFi or a 3G
connection with a sufficient
data plan to download the
update.
