Focal DUAL MANAGER User Manual

At  the  end  of  the  previous  step,  a  new  shortcut  has  been  created  with  a  Focal  Dual  Manager  icon  on  the 
computer desktop.

To launch the program simply double click on the icon.

If at this stage the amplifier is not connected or powered the following message will appear: “Amplifier is not 
connected. Program will be started in demo mode”. This mode is intended to let you to play around and get 
familiar with the various functions of the program without affecting the actual settings of the amplifier.
If the amplifier and its remote controller are connected, the computer takes control and the 4 green LEDS on 
the controller come on.

When the program starts a temporary start-up window will be displayed, including some information on the 
program release number. Towards the bottom of the window is a button labelled “Upgrade firmware”. This 
facility allows you to upgrade the various routines contained in the amplifier itself.

For  a  few  seconds  the  text  displayed  on  the  button  appears  in  black,  to  indicate  that  this  option  can  be 
activated. The first time you launch the Dual Manager program, you may be prompted to upgrade the firmware 
as it will check the compatibility between the current version of firmware and the program itself. In such a case, 
do execute the firmware upgrade by clicking the upgrade button.

Once the upgrade has been completed, leave the program and start it over again.

If the firmware upgrade is not executed, after a few seconds the start-up window will disappear and the main 
program window be displayed.
