The following is required to perform the upgrade to the Orbit Speaker with a PC:
1.	Orbit Speak unit
2.	Standard-A to Type-C USB cable
3.	A PC running Windows XP or later
4.	The Orbit Writer Upgrade Utility file found in the Orbit Speak folder.
5.	Orbit Speak Release Bin file found in the Orbit Speak folder.

To upgrade the firmware, follow these steps:
1.	Connect the Orbit Speak to the PC using the USB cable.
2.	In the Release folder on your PC, run the Orbit Writer Firmware Upgrade Utility. Assuming no errors, the program displays the message, “Note: Connect the device to the PC and put into upgrade mode. To enter, Firmware Upgrade Mode, press and hold the 'Up' key + 'Dot 5' key. Then press and release the 'Dot 8' key. The other keys can be released after this” in the message field.
3.	Press and hold Up + Dot 5, then press Dot 8. The utility shows the message “Orbit Writer is connected” in the device status field. It shows the message “Do you want to upgrade the device?” in the message field at the bottom of the dialog. 
4.	Release Dot 8 first, then release the Up and Dot 5. This switches the Orbit Speak to Upgrade mode. You should hear a tone on your PC.
5.	The utility shows the device serial number and the software version of the device at the top right corner of the window. If the software version number is blank, repeat steps 4 and 5.
6.	Activate the Browse button found in the dialog.
7.	Browse and select the firmware bin file from your PC. The file is in the folder.
8.	Once the file is selected, the dialog shows the software version of the selected file.
9.	Activate the Upgrade button.
10.	The utility starts upgrading the device.
11.	Do not unplug the cable. Wait for the message “Device upgrade has been completed” on the upgrade utility or until the Orbit Speak reboots and shuts down.
12.	The Orbit Speak is upgraded. Reset (press and release Up + Dot8 key together) and turn on the Orbit Speak to start using the device.
