4-6-2 Updating firmware
(1) Purpose
If you receive information from the factory that updating
firmware is needed, you should do it to improve the
performance, functions and operability of VDR-M30.
(2) Procedure for updating
1) Acquire the data for updating of firmware and create a
disc for updating.
The information on how to obtain the firmware data and
create a disc containing upgraded firmware will be
reported on service bulletin, etc.
2) Set the power switch to “POWER OFF”, and then use
the AC adapter/charger to power the VDR-M30. Do not
use a battery: Using battery may interrupt power of
VDR-M30 during work.
3) Insert the disc for updating firmware.
4) Set the power switch to “POWER OFF”.
5) After approx. 20 seconds, the updating start screen (Fig.
4-6-2) will appear, and the firmware programs will be
automatically updated thereafter.
