In order to maintain proper performance of this product, it is essential to have the most up-to-
date software. The latest news and release of software versions may be found at the Humax 
website – http://www.humaxdigital.com.   
It is recommended that you periodically check for the availability of software update. 
 
9.1  OTA (Over the Air) 
OTA, an abbreviation of "over–the-air", means that downloads the software can be downloaded 
where the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where to release through 
Antenna system. 
Over the Air(OTA) is simply an alternative method for downloading software versions. However, 
the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software update can take 
place by “beaming” latest software versions over the air via antenna systems. Note that OTA is 
only limited to certain geographical regions mainly due to different antennas having different 
footprints(area where the signal can be received). The software update via satellite system will 
only occur under the following circumstances. 
 
1  The equipment should have appropriate loader software.   
[Caution] 
Please note that if you don't have normal loader software, the equipment may not be updated or 
work after software update. 
2  The manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated antenna 
system 
3  The equipment must be “tuned” properly to the same antenna that the manufacturer 
uses. 
4  Update software when the quality of receiving signal strength is high. If the weather is 
not so good that the quality of receiving signal strength is not recommendable, 
perform the software update later. 
 
[Caution] 
1.  Please be careful to keep the power on and the power cord plugged in during software update. 
If the power is off during software update, it may cause fatal damage to the product. 
2.  Please be careful not to pull out the 
signal
 line (LNB Cable) during software update. Update may 
be interrupted and the product may not work. 
[Note]
