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