Your device is controlled by an internal program called firmware. As a part of ongoing product maintenance, the firmware is upgraded and errors are corrected.
It is possible that a newer version (an ‘update’) of the firmware has been released since you purchased the device. In this case, you can easily update your device to the latest version.
Use SpeechControl (Philips Device Control Center) to upgrade the firmware of your device. You can download the latest version of the application here: https://www.dictation.philips.com/speechcontrol. Please follow the steps outlined below to upgrade your device.
Note
A firmware upgrade is only possible if the following preconditions are met:
-
The SpeechMike has at least 50% (approx. 12 hours) battery power left.
-
The SpeechMike is not in idle mode.
-
There is no recording or playback running.
To upgrade your device:
-
Connect the docking station to a power outlet and to the computer by using the supplied USB cables and the power supply unit. Then place the SpeechMike into the docking station.
Note Make sure to upgrade your device together with all the accessories you are commonly using, including the docking station (or for some devices the optional remote control). If you are using your device together with the optional Philips AirBridge, make sure to also upgrade any other hardware you are commonly using with your device (e.g. the docking station). -
Start Philips Device Control Center:
