The firmware is the device software stored in your handset.
You can carry out a Firmware Update in the following cases:
• Your handset is not working or not working correctly or
• You wish to use new software to operate the handset (new/improved
functions).
The currently loaded version is shown in the Current Firmware section.
Loading new firmware
• First copy the firmware from the Internet to your PC.
• In the Firmware Download field, enter the name of the firmware file
in the PC including the complete path. Alternatively, you can click on
the Browse... button and select the file on the PC.
• Click on the Update button.
The firmware is loaded to the handset and its validity checked. If the new
firmware is valid, the old version of the firmware is overwritten. This
procedure takes a few minutes.
After the firmware has been loaded, the handset reboots automatically. The
connection to the handset is terminated.
Backup the handset configuration in a PC file before updating your
firmware, see see Æ FTP Backup and Restore or Æ Local Backup and
Restore.
You can also update the firmware via FTP, see Æ FTP Update
Firmware.
A firmware update will not remedy any hardware faults.
