Updating the Player Firmware

Occasionally we make improvements to the player's software to add features or improve performance. To be sure your player is taking advantage of the latest software it is recommend you attempt to update your player at least once a year.

Updating the software can be done two ways:

1. Visiting http://xmradio.com/XMp3update and following the directions there.
2. Using the XM2go Music Manger Software. Click on the HELP option, and then click Check for Updates.

Remember that:

• Your player must be docked and with the Power Adapter plugged in, and must be connected to your PC.
• You should not attempt updating the firmware if your player is not connected to an external power source.
• Your PC must be connected to the Internet.

Disconnecting the Player from a PC

To disconnect your Player from your PC, you must follow these steps:

1. Click on “Eject” on the lower left-hand corner of the XM2go Music Manager screen.
2. XM2go Music Manager will sync with your Player, and then inform you that you can disconnect your Player.
3. Unplug the USB cable from either the PC or your Player.

NOTE! Do not use Windows’ “Safely Remove Hardware” button as it does not properly sync the XM2go Music Manager with your Player
