iDJ² SOFTWARE UPGRADES
As we continue to improve and add functionality to iDJ² for the best user experience, software upgrades may
be released at our web site. Please check
latest news from Numark.

UPGRADE PROCEDURE

iDJ² features a failsafe upgrade procedure. Should an upgrade fail part way through for any reason
(including loss of power) the upgrade process should be restarted from the beginning. However, for
your convenience we recommend that you take care to ensure that power is not interrupted until the
process is complete.
1. Download the software upgrade (.UPG) file to your computer.
2. Copy the .UPG file to the top level of a USB storage device compatible with iDJ². You should
erase any earlier .UPG files from the device. If more than one upgrade file is present the
upgrader will use the first one it finds.
3. With the iDJ² powered off, connect the USB device to any USB port.
4. Remove any other connected storage devices.
5. With the DC power jack connected, press and hold the power button until you see the message
"Waiting for Media" on screen. This will take about four seconds, after which you can release the
power button. If the unit does not display this message switch off and try again, taking care not to
release the power button too early.
6. After a few seconds, provided iDJ² is able to locate the connected .UPG file, the message "Any
key updates to version ..." will be displayed.
7. The version of the firmware upgrade is indicated.
8. Press any button (except power!).
9. The firmware upgrade will be loaded, a process which can take up to about a minute. After
several seconds a progress indicator will be shown to give you an idea of the work remaining.
10. Once the update procedure has completed a message will confirm successful loading. Select OK
and the unit will switch off.
11. The upgrade procedure is now complete. Now you may power on the iDJ² as you would normally.
Be sure to read the release notes at the Numark web site so you'll know what's new!
Note: If iDJ² detects that the upgrade file is identical to the firmware already loaded, it will not load
the update.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT UPGRADING
The iDJ² upgrade procedure may only be performed with a FAT-formatted USB device.
To check if your USB device is formatted with the FAT file system;
•
Under Windows, right-click the device in your Explorer, select Properties and check the File System
category. Please make sure that it says FAT, FAT16, or FAT32.
•
Under MacOS, hold down Apple, click the device and select Get Info. Check the Format category and
make sure that it says "MS-DOS File System (FAT16)" or "MS-DOS File System (FAT32)".
If your device is not formatted with the FAT file system, you will need to reformat it before using it for
upgrading:
•
Under Windows, right-click the device in your Explorer and select Format. Under the File system tab
select FAT and click Start to format the device.
•
Under MacOS(10.4), go to Applications -> Utilities and double-click on Disk Utility. Select the
device from the browser on the left and then select the Erase tab. Under Volume Format, please
select "MS-DOS File System" and then press the Erase button below to format the device.
PLEASE NOTE: Formatting a device will erase any of the data which is currently on the device. Please make
sure you save all data you wish to keep to your hard-drive first.
