1.5.2 Upgrading the TalkSwitch software and firmware

immediate access to an update directly from Window’s Start menu.

2. If your configuration software is due for an update, a dialog box informs 
you of the status of your software version. See Figure 3. If you need an 
update, you have the option to download the update. The update file is 
stored in C:\Program Files\TalkSwitch\TalkSwitch Configuration 4.00.
