7.1 Updating the firmware
TC may provide updates for the built-in software of your pedal, the firmware.
Updating your TC pedal’s firmware requires...
•
•
a computer running Microsoft Windows or OS X with a standard
USB interface
•
•
the specified DC power supply for your pedal.
Preparing the firmware update
•
•
Download the newest firmware from the “Support” page for your TC pedal.
There are updaters for Microsoft Windows (these are ZIP archives containing
the firmware installer) and for OS X (these are disk image files containing the
firmware installer).
•
•
Unplug all cables (including the power supply) from your TC pedal.
•
•
Connect the pedal to your computer using a USB cable (not included).
•
•
Press and hold the footswitch on your TC pedal. If your TC pedal has more
than one footswitch, press and hold the leftmost footswitch.
•
•
Insert the DC power supply plug.
•
•
The LED on your pedal should turn green. If your TC pedal has more than
one LED, the leftmost LED should turn green. This indicates that the pedal is
ready to receive the software update.
•
•
Release the footswitch.
•
•
Your TC pedal will now be recognized as an updatable device.
Applying the firmware update
•
•
Quit all MIDI-related applications (e.g. your DAW) on your computer and
launch the firmware updater you have downloaded in step 1.
•
•
In the firmware updater app, select your TC pedal from the drop-down list
under the “STEP 1” heading.
•
•
When the “Update” button under the “STEP 2” heading turns green, click it.
•
•
The updated firmware will now be transferred to your TC pedal. Wait for
the progress bar to reach 100%. When the update procedure is complete,
the pedal will automatically restart.
7.2 Changing the battery
If you need to change the battery of your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal,
proceed as follows:

making sure the polarity is correct.
