Description:

This package contains a new version of the HP49G+ Rom (2.00).

This new version address the followings:

• Increased number of usable screen lines for graphing and general work and much better support for the full 80-line screen.
• Added SD card format functionality in file manager and support for SD cards in FAT32-formatted - browse directory.
• Added HP equation library.
• a completely rewritten keyboard handler to reduce the number of missed keystrokes and various bugfixes.

Note: In order to upgrade your calculator, you must have a Secure Digital card reader and a secure Digital card formatted using the FAT file system (not FAT32). Although the ROM update process should not erase any of the user data stored in HOME, IRAM (PORT0), ERAM(PORT1) and SD(PORT3), this upgrade may erase some of the data in FLASH(Port2) performing a backup of your valuable data is therefore recommended.

To do so, if you have a SD card, use the BACKUP command (documented in the manual) to archive the HOME directory (in ALG mode: BACKUP(:3:back) ENTER, or in RPN mode: :3:back BACKUP ENTER). Then, use the filer to copy all data from IRAM, ERAM and FLASH into the SD card.

To prepare for installing the new ROM:

1. Download the package from the Hewlett-Packard web site.
2. Extract the package.
3. Ensure that you have good batteries in the calculator.

2. On the calculator, press and hold the + and - buttons and press the RESET button using a paper clip or other blunt object.
3. Release the RESET button, wait 2 seconds and release the + and - keys. Your calculator screen should display the update and self test menu.
4. Insert the SD card (upside down) in the calculator.
5. Press 1 (Update ROM CODE)
6. Press 2 (Update from SD CARD)
7. The calculator should start updating the ROM (you will see flashing messages telling you about the update process). This should take around 1 minute.
8. When the upgrade is finished (the calculator displays: ‘Update Finish, waiting for reset’), press the reset button. Your calculator has been upgraded.
