CompactFlash (CF), USB storage in the USB port, and shared network storage.

locations automatically. Please follow any displayed instructions carefully.

CAUTION for “Update” Function

To avoid system crashes and irrecoverable states, you MUST:

• Use AC power instead of Battery power when the tablet software is being updated.

• NOT turn the system OFF when the tablet software is being updated.

The use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended.

This method can also often be used to recover from corrupted flash memory in the tablet. The following describes

the procedure for updating firmware through the Cradle-USB port:

• Client (7375) side

4. Press the Suspend button again to turn on the power and quickly (BEFORE the display shows the Splash

Screen; you have about 1-3 seconds. If you miss this, then repeat Step c) press and hold the soft keyboard

button (Button #5) AND the Cradle USB button (Button #6) simultaneously. You should be able to see a

text-based Menu on the screen. Use the 4-way navigation button to move up and down through the Menu
