Firmware Upgrades

Updates are occasionally available for the RF Terminal System when new features or improvements are added.

RF Terminal Firmware Upgrades

The RF Terminal firmware can be upgraded by downloading new firmware into the RF Terminal from your computer.

Normal Firmware Download for a Terminal

The RF Terminal firmware can also be upgraded by downloading a file with the current firmware into the RF Terminal's flash

EPROM using the Hardware Utilities program found on the RF Terminal Utilities CD.

If you have received a CD with the latest firmware or have downloaded the firmware from our website

(http://www.barcodehq.com), download the firmware into the RF Terminal by following the instructions on the screens of the

program for a normal Terminal firmware update.

Failsafe Firmware Download for a Terminal

If a terminal's firmware gets completely wiped out (the terminal's battery or power adapter are tested to be good, but the screen

stays blank screen or only displays a cursor when you press the power button) you will need to do a “Failsafe firmware upgrade”

to restore the firmware.

To do a Failsafe firmware upgrade on a terminal that has had its firmware completely wiped out, run the Hardware Utilities pro-

gram (it can be installed from the RF Terminal Utilities CD), select the “Failsafe” option, and follow the program's instructions as

it walks you through the steps to perform a Failsafe firmware upgrade.

Failsafe firmware download can only be done using a serial cable.
