11. Software Update In order to maintain proper performance of the product, it is essential to have the most up-to-date software. Visit the Humax website to check the latest news and newly released software versions (http:// www.humaxdigital.com). It is recommended that you periodically check for the availability of software update. 11.1 OTA (Over the Air) OTA, an abbreviation of Over-the-Air, is a standard for the transmission of software through a broadcast system. OTA is simply an alternative method for downloading software versions. However, the manufacturers reserve the right for deciding the release of the software for their products by beaming the latest software versions over the air via satellite. Note that OTA is only limited to certain geographical regions mainly due to different antennas having different footprints (area where the signal can be received). The following factors must be true for the software update via satellite to occur: 1. The equipment has the appropriate loader software. Caution: Please note that if the normal loader software is not equipped, the product may not be updated or operate properly after software update. 2. The manufacturer decides to release the software via a designated satellite. 3. The equipment is tuned properly to the same antenna equivalent to that of the manufacturer. 4. The signal strength and quality is high. If severe weather conditions are affecting reception, for example, the software update should be postponed until signal strength and quality are favourable again. Caution: • Please be careful to keep the power on and the power cord plugged in during software update. If the power is off during software update, fatal damage may be caused to the product. • Please be careful not to pull out the signal line (LNB cable) during software update. Update may be interrupted and the product may not operate. Note: • It may take 5~10 minutes to update software. • Other functions will not activate while software update takes place. • You cannot schedule programmes during software update. 1. Software update while watching a programme When new software is detected, you can choose to download the software immediately or save for later. In case there is no software currently available, select Next and press the OK button to proceed to the next step. 2. Software update via USB host Copy the software to the USB memory stick and connect the USB to the receiver. Press the STANDBY button and turn off the power. To power on, press the STANDBY button while switching on the receiver to start software update. GB48 User's Manual
