    + ==Firmware Loading==  
    + While there are multiple components to the firmware on an OPN-2002 (Bootloader, OS and Application) the instructions to load them individually or all together are the same. In most cases, all you'll need to do is load the OS, and the proper Application file for your needs.  
       
    + ===Preparation===  
    + # Download the Firmware: Bootloader Firmware: OS, and Appload for this process available in the [[#Software|Software Downloads]] section. You may also need Opticon's [[#Drivers|USB Drivers]], so please download those as well.  
    + # Download the appropriate Firmware: Application file for your needs. This is most likely to be the [[#Software|Bluetooth Application]], however there are other Applications available. A complete list can be found in the [[#Software|Downloads Section]] at the bottom of the page.  
    + # Extract the OPN2002 Bootloader and Firmware - OS zip files, the Appload.zip file, the USB Drivers Installer.zip file, and the OPN2002 Firmware - Application files into a convenient folder.  
    + # Install [[Appload]] by double-clicking the 'Appload Setup.exe' file, which will start the install wizard. The defaults are fine in most cases, so keep clicking 'Next' until you are finished. Appload will launch at the end of the install process.  
    + # Connect the OPN-2002 to your PC  
    + ===Install the Firmware===  
    + # Launch Appload if it is not already running.  
    + # We first need to choose the correct COM port. From the main Appload window, select 'Settings' > 'Port', then choose the port that says 'Opticon USB Code Reader'.  
    + # Now we can start downloading the OS and Application. For each of the .hex files you downloaded and extracted above, please choose 'File', then 'Download', then navigate to and select the file. You should see a progress indicator and the words 'Initializing IRdA' if this is working.  
    + # When complete the OPN-2002 will emit a series of beeps and reboot. When the LED is steady RED (indicating charging) or GREEN (indicating fully charged) the process is complete and you may disconnect your OPN-2002 from the PC. instruction manuals for the various applications are available for download in the Downloads section.  
       
       
    + ==Reset==  
    + To restore to factory defaults or in case the device is not responding, there is a feature that will allow a reset of the OPN2002. To perform a reset, hold down both buttons (clear/function and scan) for 30-40 seconds. This will reset the device and clear past pairing information. Once reset the pairing process will need to be performed to reconnect the OPN2002 to your device or computer.  
    + ==SDK==  
       
    + The OPN2002 does not need an SDK for the platforms it supports. Given the fact that it can transmit data serially via Bluetooth SPP or its USB port, or can transmit data as a Bluetooth HID (keyboard) device, SDKs for the various platforms the OPN2002 supports are not required (except for Windows Phone). This is because the manufacturers of those platforms provide APIs for accessing serial ports and managing Bluetooth connections.  
       
    + When talking about an SDK in relation to the OPN2002, what is referred to is the [[C-Library Kit]]. With the [[C-Library Kit]] installed, developers are able to create and customize embedded applications for the OPN2002, thus changing and customizing its behavior to better suit their use cases.
