UNINSTALLING PREVIOUS SOFTWARE VERSIONS ON THE HANDHELD
Before installing the new software, uninstall any older versions of the software on the handheld.
The Factory Reset method (1) is recommended. Read the descriptions below and choose the appropriate procedure based on
your handheld setup.
1. Uninstalling the Previous Software Using Factory Reset (Recommended)
Factory reset is the recommended method for uninstalling the previous version of the meter reading software. This
procedure resets the Trimble Ranger to "factory fresh" condition and removes all previously added software. Refer to
"Uninstalling Previous Software Using Factory Reset" on page 7 .
CAUTION: If you previously added software to the handheld that you do not want to remove, use the Alternative
method, "Uninstalling Previous Software Using Remove Programs" on page 8 .
2. Uninstalling the Previous Software Using Remove Programs (Alternative)
This procedure uses the Windows tool, "Remove Programs," for uninstalling the previous meter reading software
version. Remove Programs allows you to select the programs you want to uninstall. It can be used when the
handheld has other software that you do not want to remove. Refer to "Uninstalling Previous Software Using Remove
Programs" on page 8 .
3. (Kiosk mode) Uninstalling the Previous Software
For handhelds in Kiosk mode, use procedure 1, "Uninstalling Previous Software Using Factory Reset" on page 7, to
uninstall previous Kiosk software and all other previously added software.
If you previously added software to the handheld that you do not want to remove, use the instructions "Uninstalling
Previous Software from Kiosk Mode" on page 9 .
No Previous Software
If there is no previous version of the ORION meter reading software on the handheld, skip the uninstall procedures and go
directly to "Installing the ORION Meter Reading Software for the Trimble Ranger" on page 12 .
