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:
- You can only update the software when the safe is open
- 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 £/$
- You should have a micro-SD adapter supplied with the MortiSafe Pro
What you need to do:
- Download a ZIP file from the link in the email (about a 2Gb file)
- 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
- 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/
- 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
- Plug the SD adapter into your computer, put the micro-SD card into the micro-SD adapter and put that into the SD adapter
- Run the SD writing software and download the contents of your SD card onto a file on your computer (this is just an emergency backup)
- Then write the IMG file (which you extracted from the zip earlier) onto the SD card
- Put the micro-SD card back into the MortiSafe Pro core unit
- 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
