Re: battery gauge always reads "full"

Hello - I've had my DM42 for 2 1/2 years and the battery died yesterday. I'd say this is excellent battery life, but I was a bit surprised because the battery gauge never changed - it always had 5 bars on it. When I pulled the battery, measured its voltage (2.9V open circuit) and replaced it, the c...

Re: HELP: How to format the DM42 hard drive when the PC does not see it.

There is no hard drive inside, if there were it would be too big to fit in the case.

Broken link

Hello Godwin, I went to follow a link from one of your previous posts (so that I could update the FW on MY DM42), but this link is bad. https://www.swissmicros.com/dm42/doc/dm42_user_manual#internal_fat_disk I had the same issue as the last time I tried updating the FW using my Windows 10 computer, ...

Hardware spec for DM-16L?

I’m considering replacing my HP-16C with a 16L but can’t find the hardware spec on the SM site, after the reorg. How much memory does it have? Does it also have USB connectivity like the DM-42? Would someone post side-by side pictures with a 16C, I eoukd like to see the size comparisons and keyboard...

Re: Launching the DM41X

new DM42 units also ship with this new hardware
I didn’t know this. Has anyone asked SM if older DM42s could get the upgraded keyboard?

Does the 41X have a low resolution crystal, like the DM42?

I posted a message in the DM42 forums about my 42 real time clock losing time when not being used for months. The responses indicated that the crystal oscillator wasn’t precise enough to accurately keep time over a long period. I’m curious if the 41X has a similar low precision crystal oscillator. H...

Re: Can't install LibUSB on Windows 10

I'm not sure why you find the instructions confusing, but if you have any suggestion on how to improve the FW update section it could benefit to other people. I can't remember how I got there, but I always end up at the section which refers to using DMTool, instead of copying to the USB drive. Also...

Re: DM42 hung during img copy, USB file system erased

This may be a MacOS and/or Preview problem. I get regular Hangs in preview when I try to manipulate images in preview that are not on a local volume. This happens with Images stored on my NAS as well. My work-around is to copy the image to my local hard drive before opening them in preview. I then ...
