Version Information
Below Table contains important information on versions

Device Support
The products supported in this release are ET40S, ET40L, ET45S and ET45L series product. Please see device compatibility details under Addendum Section.

Known Constraints

• Due to Google security constraint, products introduced with Android 11 as the base OS limits the “adb push” command to copy files only to /data partition hence pushing files directly to /enterprise or sub folder of enterprise partition using “adb push” command will not be supported. Please see respective product documentation for further details on path changes related to this constraint.
• In the current version of SW Released, Wi-Fi Hotspot feature is disabled. This is expected to get enabled back in future maintenance release.
• “Messages for Web” feature is not fully supported with the current version of SW as after a device reboot it does not allow to pair with another browser unless a factory reset is done.
• Battery manager charging status is shown as “Not Charging” once the battery is fully (100%) charged instead of showing as “Full” once Zebra Charge Manager feature is enabled.
• Camera Manager CSP is not supported on ET40/ET45 Devices.
