Updating the firmware
At Phason, we constantly improve and add new features to our products. You can the firmware in
your NVC-2 as these improvements become available; all you need is a USB memory stick and a
firmware update file.
You can update the firmware using one of two methods: the
power on
method or the
power off
method. The
power on
method is the easiest way to update the firmware. If, for some reason, the
power on
method does not work, use the power off method.
Getting a file
You can get a firmware update file from the Phason support forum at
www.forum.phason.ca
or the
Phason website at
www.phason.ca
.
You need to copy the file to a USB memory stick (USB drive). The USB drive must be formatted as
a
FAT32 file system
. To check if the USB drive is the correct format, insert it into your computer
and then open Windows Explorer.
1.
Right-click the USB drive.
2.
Click
Properties
.
3.
Make sure the file system is FAT32.
If the file system is not correct, you will need
to format the drive as FAT32, or use a
different drive that is the correct format.
4.
Copy the update file to the root of the USB
drive. The
root
of the drive means
not in a
folder
.
