Update the firmware

Table of contents

Update the firmware

Your Voice Tracer is controlled by an internal program called firmware. 
As a part of ongoing product maintenance, the firmware is revised and 
errors are corrected.

It is possible that a newer version (an “update”) of the firmware has 
been issued since you purchased the Voice Tracer. In this case you can 
easily update your recorder to the latest version.

Connect the Voice Tracer to a computer using the supplied USB 
cable. 

Download the firmware update for your Voice Tracer from  

www.philips.com

 onto your computer.

Copy the new firmware file to the root directory of the Voice 
Tracer.

Disconnecting the Voice Tracer from the computer automatically 
updates the firmware.

Note

•  Please note that the firmware file must be located in the root 

directory to allow automatic updating.

•  The firmware file will be deleted automatically after the update has 

been carried out. The Voice Tracer will then switch off.
