Software Update - Sangean WFR-29D Manual

Software update

From time to time, new software features for your radio may be developed. Your radio has
therefore been designed to allow its internal software to be updated using your Internet
connection. You should not attempt to update your radio unless it is recommended to you by
Sangean Customer Services. Updating the software may remove all network settings, radio
station presets and alarm settings from your radio. It is important that you do not attempt this
procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a reliable mains power supply. If the
radio connects to your router using a WiFi connection, make sure that this is also reliable before
proceeding.
1. The 'Software update' option is accessed via the 'System settings' menu. When you select
'Software update' the menu will display 'Auto check setting' and 'Check now'. If you want your
radio to check periodically for new software versions rotate the Tuning Control Rotary to
highlight 'Auto check settings'. Then press the Tuning Control Rotary and select 'YES'. If you
do not want your radio to check for updates select the 'NO' option.
2. To check if there are any software updates available currently, press the Tuning Control Rotary
to highlight 'Check now' and then press the Tuning Control Rotary to confirm the setting.
The radio will check to see if an update is available. The display will show 'Checking for new
versions'. If there are no updates then the display will show 'Software up to date'. If a software
update is available your radio will then offer the choice of updating the software or not, displaying
'New version available. Update software?'. Select the 'YES' option if you wish to go through
the update process.
3. If you choose to update your radio it will first download the new software and will then reprogram
its internal memory. This may take a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet
connection.
4. Once the software update is completed, the radio will prompt you to press select to restart.
Press the Tuning Control Rotary and your radio will then restart. You may find that you will
need to reconfigure your network connection following an update. You may also need to re-enter
all radio station presets, alarm settings, and configuration options.
VERY IMPORTANT: Do not switch off the power to the radio until the update operation is
complete and the radio has restarted, otherwise the unit may become permanently damaged.
