9. Software Upgrade

**

In order to maintain proper performance of this product, it is essential to have the most up-to-date
software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at the Humax website ­http://www.humaxdigital.com.

It is recommended that you periodically check for the availability of software upgrades.

9.1 OTA (Over the Air)

OTA, an abbreviation of "over-the-air", means that downloads the software can be downloaded
where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to release through Antenna
system.

Over the Air(OTA) is simply an alternative method for downloading software versions. However, the
manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software update can take place by
"beaming" latest software versions over the air via antenna systems. 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 software update via satellite system will only occur under the
following circumstances.

**

1. The equipment should have appropriate loader software.
Caution: Please note that if you don't have normal loader software, the equipment may

2. The manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated antenna system

3. The equipment must be tuned properly to the same antenna that the manufacturer uses.

4. Upgrade software when the quality of receiving signal strength is high. If the weather is not so

good that the quality of receiving signal strength is not recommendable, perform the software
upgrade later.

**

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, it may cause fatal damage 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 work.
