Firmware Update Utility

The Pegaso is equipped with a field upgradeable firmware mechanism. Firmware
updates for the Pegaso are uploaded to the Datalogic Mobile website

(

www.mobile.data-

logic.com

).

After you have downloaded the desired update, there are several ways you

can update the firmware on the Pegaso.

Use the Falcon Management Utility (FMU) if you have multiple units to update.
Refer to the FMU User’s Guide on the Product CD included with your Pegaso for
more information.

If FMU is not available or you have only a few units to update, use the Firmware
Update Utility (FUU), described below, to install or update the firmware using an
ActiveSync connection. Refer to "Installing & Setting Up Microsoft ActiveSync"
on page

4-1

for more information.

FUU can also be used to restore the firmware onto a Pegaso that has become corrupted,
such as would happen if the unit were powered down during an ActiveSync firmware
update. See "Restoring Pegaso Firmware" on page

3-11

.

The following sections provide procedures for the retrieval and installation of the most
current firmware image onto a Pegaso.

Installing FUU on the Host PC

The Firmware Update Utility (FUU) provides administrators with a field upgrade
mechanism. You must have Microsoft

®

ActiveSync already loaded and running on the

host PC to use FUU. Refer to "Installing & Setting Up Microsoft ActiveSync" on page
