Creative Zen Micro Firmware 1.02.05
ZENM-FWPDE-2-LB
This web release enables you to upgrade the firmware for your 1, 4, 5 or 6GB Creative Zen Micro player.
You can upgrade from Creative Zen Micro firmware 1.01.03 or earlier, or Zen Micro PlaysForSure™ firmware 2.00.12 or later. After upgrading, you cannot go back to a previous Creative Zen Micro firmware version.
It has been reported by some of our customers that they have experienced reduced battery life after charging their Zen Micro. Our product development team has researched these reports and determined that the users may have experienced this after they plugged their Zen Micro into the AC adapter that was already inserted into a wall socket with the AC power on.
While this is not the conventional way to plug in a player for charging, we wanted to ensure that our customers did not experience this problem, so we have developed a solution to address this, which simply involves upgrading the Zen Micro's firmware.
If you need assistance in doing this, please contact our customer support team and they will be happy to assist you.
Important: If you are upgrading from PlaysForSure firmware, be sure to back up all the audio and data files on your Zen Micro before installing this firmware update as all content will be lost when you install the new firmware. After installing the new firmware, use Creative MediaSource™ to restore audio and/or data files to your player.
