Further languages can be loaded at any time by transferring the Tv3: OFF respective language files for the software version installed on the TOPAX DX from the MMC card to the TOPAX DX (see chapter 4.8). The language files can be found in the "lang" directory which is supplied together with the firmware update and have to be transferred from a PC to the MMC card (see 18.1).
NOTICE! The memory card must only be inserted or removed when the device is voltage-free. Switch off the TOPAX DX on the "service-reset" menu (see chapter 16, menu 5.4). On its website, the manufacturer provides the free software "TopReader" for the readout of the MMC with the recorder and configuration data.
