4.9 DATALOGIC FIRMWARE UTILITY
The Datalogic devices are equipped with a field upgradeable firmware
mechanism. Firmware updates are available on the Datalogic Mobile website
(
http://www.mobile.datalogic.com/). After you have downloaded the desired
update, there are several ways you can update the firmware on your device.
• Use Wavelink Avalanche™ if you have multiple Datalogic mobile devices
to update. Refer to the Product CD included with your device for more
information.
• If Wavelink Avalanche™ is not available or you have only a few Datalogic
Mobile devices to update, use the Datalogic Firmware Utility (DFU),
described below, to install or update the firmware using an ActiveSync
connection. Refer to "Installing & Setting Up Microsoft ActiveSync" for
more information.
DFU can also be used to restore the firmware onto a device that has become
corrupted, such as would happen if the device were powered down during an
ActiveSync firmware update (see par. 4.9.4).
The following sections provide procedures for the retrieval and installation of the
most current firmware image onto a Datalogic device.
