ADVANCED USERS ONLY!
Upgrades are available free to registered users. Log in to submit a request at:
http://support.socketmobile.com . With Windows Mobile 6 SP6 and later the SoMo
File Store can also be upgraded.
WARNING! You will lose all data files and applications during the upgrade
process!
STEP 1: Power the Device
Socket highly recommends that you plug the SoMo 650 into an external power
source using the charging cable/cradle. Alternatively, make sure the SoMo battery is
adequately charged.
STEP 2: Back up Data on the Device
If you have any data on the SoMo 650, please back it up before you run the update.
STEP 3: Transfer Files using a Memory Card
IMPORTANT! It is not recommended to transfer the files using ActiveSync or
the Windows Mobile Device Center!
The directory SOMO650 containing the ROM image files must be moved to the
SoMo 650 with a SD or CF memory card that is formatted in FAT12 or FAT16. Make
sure your memory card has at least 40 MB of free space.
Most higher capacity cards are formatted by default in FAT32, which is not
supported. SDHC cards are not supported in Windows Mobile 5.
1. On your PC, use My Computer or Windows Explorer to locate the directory
SOMO650, which contains the upgrade files.
2. Copy the SOMO650 directory to the root of your memory card.
IMPORTANT!
Copy the SOMO650 directory to the root of the memory card!
Example: F:/SOMO650
NOT: F:/Socket/SOMO650
DO NOT change the name of the folder!
3. Insert the memory card into the SoMo 650.
