Managing Software Options
Some options available for your unit, such as the fiber inspection probe,
are available through the purchase of a .key file. Such a file unlocks the
options you have purchased on the unit.
If you have purchased your unit with options already selected, the key files
will have been activated for you. However, if you purchase an option
afterwards, you will have to activate it on your unit yourself.
Putting the Option Files in Your Unit
You can use two methods to put the option files in your unit:
³
Copying them directly from a computer
³
Using a USB key
Note: If you choose to copy the option file from a computer and you are using
Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP, you must install the ActiveSync application
on the computer in order to be able to upload the file. In the case of
Windows Vista, you need Mobile Device Center.
