Occasionally new software may become available for the MortiSafe Pro core unit. You'll get an email when this happens, which will contain a link to a new image file.

Prerequisites:

  1. You'll need to have an SD adapter for your computer which handles the 'SD(HC)' format (all modern ones will do that). You can buy one from ebay for a few £/$
  2. You should have a micro-SD adapter supplied with the MortiSafe Pro
  3. You can only update the software when the safe is open

What you need to do:

  1. Download a ZIP file from the link in the email (about a 2Gb file)
  2. Extract the IMG file from inside it. This file should be exactly 3,765,432,100 bytes in size. It shows in Windows Explorer as 3,677,180Kb due to rounding adjustments
  3. You'll need software that can write to an SD card. On Windows you can download Win32 Disk Imager from http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
  4. Take the MortiSafe Pro core unit out of the safe and push the micro-SD card on the underside of the unit protected by cable ties - it should pop out
  5. Plug the SD adapter into your computer, put the micro-SD card into the micro-SD adapter and put that into the SD adapter
  6. Run the software and download the contents of your SD card onto a file on your computer (this is just an emergency backup)
  7. Then write the IMG file (which you extracted from the zip earlier) onto the SD card
  8. Put the micro-SD card back into the MortiSafe Pro core unit
  9. You'll need to re-attach the monitor and keyboard as your wifi details will have been reset, however you will typically get the same IP address as you had before
