Upgrade firmware
From time to time, new software features for your radio may be
developed. For example, a new audio decoder may be added to allow
an alternative audio format to be supported. You radio has therefore
been designed to allow its internal software to be upgraded using your
Internet connection.
Upgrading the software will remove all network settings, radio station
presets and alarm settings from your radio. Do not attempt this
procedure unless you have a good Internet connection and a reliable
mains power supply. If you connect to your router using a Wi-Fi
connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.
The Upgrade Firmware option allows your radio to download new
internal software from the Reciva portal on the Internet. If there is
new software available, then the radio will ask whether you want to
download it or not. Selecting No or using the Back button will cancel
the operation.
1. On the main menu (press the Back button if necessary), Press the
Tuning+/- buttons until it shows < Setting >. And then press the
Select button.
2. Press the Tuning+/- buttons until it shows <Upgrade Firmware>,
and then press the Select button.
3. If there is a new software different from the software your
radio installed, you will be able to upgrade the software.
Or it will show “No upgrade available”.
A software upgrade may take several minutes.
IMPORTANT:
Do not switch off the power to the radio until the upgrade operation is
complete and the radio has restarted, otherwise the radio may become
permanently damaged.
