ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR: BS7671 17TH EDITION UPDATES Instructions on Installing the update 17th edition update Please follow this sequence... Preparing your PC and Handheld for the update Transfer to the PC all certificates held by the handheld. This is necessary because the updated handheld database is not compatible with earlier certificates Once the update has been installed it will not be possible to create BS7671 certificates in 16th Edition format. The program will only create 17th Edition versions. If it is likely that certificates may have to be created for jobs started before 1 July 2008, create some for each certificate type, leaving the details blank. They can then be completed when the work is complete. All the required data will now be held in the PC's database. Take an archive - Main Menu, System Management, Archiving, Create Archive. This is just a precaution: the update does not affect the PC database Uninstall Electrical Inspector from the handheld. On the handheld Home screen tap the time (top left), Delect, select EI and confirm that it is to be removed.

Follow the instructions on the screen Updating from a CD Load the CD and, if it does not run the program automatically, use MyComputer to locate the file on the CD and then double click its name.
