to check periodically automatically (this is the default). If IR1 detects that 

newer software is available, it asks if you want to go ahead with an update.

If you agree, the new software is then downloaded and installed. After a 

software upgrade, all user settings are maintained. 

CAUTION: Before starting a software upgrade, ensure that IR1 is plugged 

into a stable mains power connection. Disconnecting power during a 

software update may permanently damage the unit.

To turn automatic checking on or off, select Menu > System settings 

>Software update >Auto-check setting.

9.2 Factory reset 

A factory reset resets all user settings to default values, so time/date, 

network configuration and presets are lost. However, the radio’s current 

software version is maintained.

To perform a factory reset, select Menu > System settings > Factory reset 

Proceed > Yes.
