Firmware Update Procedure

1. Download the update from the web site (see previous par.). It is a zip file

containing the files:

• DLUpdater.exe – that starts the update;

• DLUpdate.bin – binary file containing the updated firmware;

2. Copy the files DLUpdater.exe (optional) and DLUpdate.bin in folder

“\BACKUP”.

3. Open the folder “\BACKUP” on the terminal and run DLUpdater.exe

(double tap the icon).

4. The message shown in figure 1 will come up on the screen. It informs that

DLUpdater found a firmware update in “\BACKUP\DLUpdate.bin”. It also

warns the user that by proceeding with the terminal firmware upgrade all

data and configurations (registry) may be lost. Select <YES> to continue,

<NO> to cancel operations.

5. DLUpdater detects whether an external power source is present. If not, a

warning will come up on the screen asking for a confirmation before

carrying on (see figure 2).

7. DLUpdater performs all the necessary operations of check, update and

verify and, if no errors occur during the update, terminates the running

invoking a cold boot of the terminal, so that the update process could be

completed.

8. Following the operating system upgrade, the message shown in figure 3

may come up at the terminal startup. It informs the user that a flash disk

formatting (folder \backup) would required for a clean update and asks

whether to proceed with this operation. Select <YES> to format the flash

disk. Select <NO> to preserve the current data stored in the backup folder.

Sometimes the update process may force a flash format. In these cases
