Software Controls - Configuration Tab
The Configuration Tab displays information about the XP500 headset and lets you update
the headset firmware, voice prompts and EEPROM settings.
Update Section
Update Firmware
The headset operates with internal "firmware", which is
the software that makes the processor run. At times, we'll
release updates to the firmware to fix bugs or add features,
so this section makes it easy to update it when it's available
on our web site.
To check if a firmware update is available, click the
"Check for Firmware Updates" button. The XP500
Advanced Sound Editor software will check the Turtle
Beach web site for the latest firmware release and compare
it to what's in your headset. If it's newer, it will prompt
you to download it.
After you download the firmware, you can load it into the
Update Firmware field by pressing the "..." button next
to the field. This will open Windows Explorer where you
can navigate to the location where you saved the firmware download. Load the firmware
into the display area and then click on the "Update" button to upload the firmware to the
headset.
It is important that you do not turn off the headset or remove the USB cable
while the firmware is being uploaded to the headset. Disrupting the data transfer
can cause your headset to become inoperable.
Update Voice Prompts
The voice prompts in the headset can be replaced with different ones that you can download
from our web site. For instance, you can change the English version to French, German,
Italian or Spanish. To do this, go to
top of the screen. Then navigate to the voice prompts section and download the language of
your choice.
