Guide to Firmware Upgrade

A. What is Firmware?

Firmware is a program embedded in the hardware, which activates various features.
By upgrading the rmware, you can enhance the features of the product and eliminate the bugs.

B. Notice for Legal Limitations and Responsibilities Regarding Firmware

• The performance and menu of iAUDIO may change without prior notice through rmware upgrades of
regular or beta versions supported by the manufacturer.
• When you upgrade the rmware, all the data in the ash memory is deleted.
Therefore, users should personally back up important MP3 les and data saved in iAUDIO to their PC
before upgrading the rmware.
• All rmware upgrades are intended for overall enhancement of performance. The upgrades will be
provided when available based on our company’s judgment.
• Some beta versions of the rmware included in our development roadmap may have minor bugs that will
be corrected in the ofcial versions of the rmware. We are warning you beforehand of this possibility
through this Guide.

C. Conditions for Firmware Upgrade

• Upgrading the rmware of iAUDIO requires the basic environment where the UMS feature of the
Windows OS works properly.
• You can check "iAUDIO" in ‘My Computer’ on Windows 98 /ME /XP.
For Windows 2000, "Mobile Disk" may be displayed instead of ‘iAUDIO’.
• Either ‘iAUDIO’ or ‘Mobile Disk’ must be displayed for a rmware upgrade to be possible. If it is not
displayed, we recommend that you check the menu that asks whether or not to use a USB Device from the
main board CMOS, or reinstall Windows, or have the USB port on the main board examined.
