C. Firmware update
Firmware updates may update the player with new features and optimize the
playback experience; if you are satisfied with the current firmware, it is not
necessary to upgrade it. The unit supports firmware upgrades via update files
loaded into TF cards. Improper operation during firmware updates may cause
the unit to malfunction! Please read the following instructions for firmware
updates carefully before proceeding.
To check the current firmware version:
From the main menu, navigate to System Settings->About X5 to see the current
firmware version loaded on your X5.
Precautions before firmware update:
•The TF card should preferably be a blank card of 32GB of capacity or under in
FAT32 format.
•Make sure the X5 is adequately charged (preferably fully charged) for the
update process to prevent power failure during the update;
•Do not operate other buttons and dials on the player during the update process.
•If the update process fails, hold the power button for 10 seconds for a forced
shutdown and turn the player on in update mode again to resume the update.
