XTS Update Process – From Version 10.00.14 or 10.01.06

(PLEASE NOTE: This is the process for the XTS, not the XTSPlus. For more information on how to update the XTSPlus and tell the difference between the two please click HERE)

All of the steps listed below are performed on the XTS touchscreen itself. You don’t need to use a phone/tablet/computer and you do NOT need to remove the XTS from the wall. The steps are all performed on an installed and running XTS touchscreen.

 

  1. From the Now Playing Screen, tap the Settings icon in the top right
  2. From the Settings Menu, scroll down and tap the “About Russound XTS” option
  3. Confirm the Version Number
IMPORTANT: The update process below is only for units with versions:
  • 10.00.14
  • 10.01.06
From the Now Playing Screen:
  1. Press and Hold the Settings icon in the top right until “Admin Settings” appears (this will go through two screens; settings then admin settings, and take about 4 seconds)

  2. From the Add Launcher Menu, tap on “Application”
  3. Select any icon (you are going to create a temporary launcher so the icon you choose doesn’t matter. In our example, we’re choosing the light bulb)
  4. From the Add Launcher screen, enter the name “Settings” in the Launcher Name Field
    Any name will work, but naming this launcher as “Settings” makes it very easy to identify this launcher later.
  5. From the Add Launcher screen, enter the following text in the URL field exactly as shown:
    com.android.settings
  6. Tap on “Save” to save the new Settings Launcher that you just created.

NOTE: Before proceeding, read all of Step 4. The XTS will reboot 15 seconds after you activate the Settings Launcher. Don’t worry if the device reboots before you finish Step 4. If that happens, you will just need to go back to Preview Mode following the steps above and re-activate the Settings Launcher.
