Guide to Firmware Upgrade
A.What is Firmware?
Firmware is a program embedded in the hardware, which activates various features.
By upgrading the firmware, 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 firmware upgrades of regular or beta versions supported by the manufacturer.
•When you upgrade the firmware, all the data in the flash memory is deleted.
Therefore, users should personally back up important MP3 files and data saved in iAUDIO to their PC before upgrading the firmware.
•All firmware 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 firmware included in our development roadmap may have minor bugs that will be corrected in the official versions of the firmware. We are warning you beforehand of this possibility through this Guide.
C.Conditions for Firmware Upgrade
•Upgrading the firmware 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 firmware 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.
