Upgrading the Operating System
Introduction
Depending on the size of the operating system, the total time required for a successful upgrade may require several min-
utes.
The OS upgrade files are unique to your MX9 physical configuration and date of manufacture. OS upgrade files designed
for one device configuration should not be used on a different device configuration.
Updates and Language Options
Same Language to Same Language
During the upgrade process all settings revert to factory defaults. Parameters will need to be changed from factory defaults
to your preferred values at the conclusion of the upgrade process.
Change Language during Upgrade Process
When changing from one language to another during the upgrade process, all files in the System folder will be deleted as
the system is re-partitioned and all system settings are cleared. Parameters will need to be changed from factory defaults
to your preferred values at the conclusion of the upgrade process.
Preparation
• Contact Technical Assistance to get the OS upgrade files from Honeywell.
• Put the upgrade files on a PC with ActiveSync capability.
• Copy the upgrade files from the PC to a SD card.
• Use ActiveSync to backup MX9 user files and store them elsewhere before beginning an upgrade on the MX9.
• Always perform MX9 updates when it has a fully charged main battery and/or a dependable external power source
connected to the MX9.
• Removing or installing the SD card should be performed on a clean, well-lit surface.
Accessing the SD Card Slot
Tools required: standard size Phillips screwdriver (not supplied by Honeywell).
The expansion slots in the MX9 are accessible via the hatch. The hatch can be opened using a standard size screwdriver.
When the hatch is opened, the MX9 automatically shuts down. It is good practice to save any changes then perform an
orderly shutdown to preserve RAM contents before opening the hatch.
When the hatch is open during this procedure, do not remove any cables or allow them to kink.
Procedure
While the hatch is open slide the installed SD card out of the slot. The MX9 may not have a SD card in the slot because the
OS is in flash.
1. Summit radio card located in the back half of
the MX9 assembly.
2. SIMM card located in the front half of the
MX9 assembly.
3. SD card located in the front half of the MX9
assembly.
