MX7 Tecton OS Upgrade

Depending on the size of the operating system, the total time required for a successful upgrade may require several minutes.

The OS upgrade files are unique to your MX7 Tecton physical configuration and date of manufacture. OS upgrade files designed for one device configuration should not be used on a different device configuration.

The MX7 Tecton running Windows Mobile must be returned to the manufacturer, Honeywell, if the device is to be re-imaged with any other Windows operating system (for example, Windows CE 6).

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.

Preparation

•Contact Technical Assistance (page 16-1)to get the OS upgrade files from Honeywell.
