Updating the base station
firmware

If necessary, you can update your base sta-

tion firmware.
The firmware update is downloaded

directly from the Internet by default. The

relevant website is preconfigured in your

phone.
As an alternative to uploading the

firmware via the Internet, it can also be

loaded from a local PC. You can specify the

PC via the Web configurator (page 92).

This setting applies only to the following

firmware update.

Precondition:

The base station is in idle status, i.e.:

u

No calls are being made via the fixed

network or VoIP.

u

There is no internal connection

between the registered handsets.

u

No other handset has opened the base

station menu.

Automatic firmware update

Your phone will check daily whether a

newer firmware update is available via the

Internet on the Siemens configuration

server. If this is the case, the message

New firmware available

will be displayed

when the handset is in idle status, and the

message key

f flashes.

f

Press the message key.

§Yes§

Press the display key to con-

firm the prompt.

The firmware will be loaded onto your

phone.

Please note:

– The firmware update can last up to 3 min-

utes.

– When updating from the Internet, checks

are made to ensure that no newer version

of the firmware exists. If this is not the case,

the operation is terminated and a message

is issued to that effect.

– If an error arises during a firmware update

from a local PC, the most recent version of

the firmware is automatically downloaded

from the Internet. Your phone should

therefore be connected to the Internet dur-

ing every firmware update.

Please note:

– If you reply to the request with

§No§

, the dis-

play will not be repeated. The message

New firmware available

will only be shown

again if a newer version of the firmware

than the one rejected is available.

– You can specify the automatic version

check via the Web configurator (page 93).
