Update fx-9860GII to 2.09 for Netherlands HAVO VWO 2018+

[critor]

Hi dutch reader(s) !

To use your Casio fx-9860GII for the HAVO or VWO exams, you have :

• either to put it into exam mode if it's running OS version 2.07 or higher
• or to reset its memory

Starting from 2018 for the HAVO and then 2019 for the VWO, the exam mode and thus OS 2.07+ become mandatory.

But don't be eagle to junk your old fx-9860GII, or to buy a brand new one !
You may be able to update it, and this isn't going to cost you anything !
So you may keep your old one or buy a used one for cheap.

You first have to determine your calculator hardware version and thus the used CPU type : either SH3 or SH4.
There are 2 very easy ways for this :

• Look at the label below the screen. It'll be showing :
  
  • USB POWER GRAPHIC 2 for an SH4 calculator
  • USB POWER GRAPHIC for an SH3 calculator
  
  
  
• Check the full OS version string in the SYSTEM application :
  
  • type

    MENU

    , then go into the SYSTEM application
  • type

    F4

    to get the system version
    You should have the full version string displayed in the XX.XX.XXXX format, with a digit in place of each X character.
  • Look at the last digit, thus the 8th one with this format. It will be :
    
    • 1 for an SH4 calculator
    • 0 for an SH3 calculator

SH3 calculators cannot be updated with the exam mode.
But for SH4 calculators, just download and install the fx-9860GII 2.09 OS update.
