Upgrading The Firmware - Philips SpeechOne PSM6300 User Manual

Upgrading the firmware

Your SpeechOne is controlled by an internal program
called firmware. As a part of ongoing product
maintenance, the firmware is upgraded and errors are
corrected.
It is possible that a newer version (an 'update') of the
firmware has been released since you purchased the
device. In this case, you can easily update your device to
the latest version.
Note
• A firmware upgrade is only possible if the following
preconditions are met:
• At least two battery LEDs on the docking station
must be glowing (which means the SpeechOne
has at least 2.5 hours battery power left).
• The SpeechOne is not in Idle mode.
• Ideally, the SpeechOne is placed on the docking
station.
• There is no recording or playback running.
