10) Press the [MENU/ENTER] dial. If MR16 is correctly put into the USB mode, the display on the right will appear on the LCD. Now MR16 is ready to connect to PC or Macintosh.
11) Connect the USB cable from the MR16 USB port to PC on which Windows XP/2000 is running or Macintosh on which OS X is running.
CAUTION:
MR16 can be connected to PC on which Windows XP/2000 is running or Macintosh on
which OS X is running for software update as well as audio data transfer. Of
course PC/Macintosh has to be equipped with a USB port.
12) PC or Macintosh
recognizes MR16 as an external removable disk.
The example below indicates that MR16 is recognized as a removable disk (E) in the My Computer on Windows XP PC. Unzip the software update file with “zip” extension (e.g. MR16_V102.zip) normally sent together with a technical bulletin. If you do so, a software update file (e.g. MR16V102.MOT) will be created. Place a newly created software update file with “MOT” (motorola format) extension in the root directory tree of the Removable disk (E).
By
double-clicking the removable drive (E) (MR16), the window on the right will appear.
You can see that the software update file (MR16V102.MOT) is placed in the top
directory tree of the Removable Disk (E).
After
transferring the software update file is completed, do not tun off the USB
connection by pressing the MR16 STOP key. First, you need to safely remove the
MR16 from PC side by opening the “Safety Removable Hardware” in the tool bar
and pressing the “Stop” button on Windows XP/2000 PC. Then, you can turn off
the USB connection from the MR16 side
