Software update
From time to time, new software features for your radio may be developed. Your radio has therefore
been designed to allow its internal software to be updated using your Internet connection. You
should not attempt to update your radio unless it is recommended to you by Roberts Customer
Services. Updating the software may remove all network settings, radio station presets and alarm
settings from your radio. It is important that you do not attempt this procedure unless you have a
good Internet connection and a reliable mains power supply. If the radio connects to your router
using a WiFi connection, make sure that this is also reliable before proceeding.
From the home menu press the Settings mode button. The main settings menu will be
displayed.
Select Miscellaneous settings.
Select Software update, the current setting will appear in yellow. If you want your radio to check
periodically for new software versions select Enabled to proceed. If you wish to disable the
software update select Disable.
To check if there are any software updates available currently, touch Check for Updates. The
radio will check to see if an update is available. The display will show 'Checking'. If there are no
updates then the display will show 'Software up to date'. If a software update is available your
radio will then offer the choice of updating the software or not, displaying 'New version available.
Update software?'. Touch
Yes option if you wish to go through the update process.
If you choose to update your radio it will first download the new software and will then reprogram
its internal memory. This may take a few minutes depending on the speed of your internet
connection.
Once the software update is completed, the radio will prompt you to restart. You may find that you
will need to reconfigure your network connection following an update. You may also need to re-
enter all radio station presets, alarm settings, and configuration options.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Do not switch off the power to the radio until the update operation is complete and the radio has
restarted, otherwise the unit may become permanently damaged.
