Maintenance
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.
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.
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.
Changing the battery
If you need to change the battery of your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal, proceed as follows:
Unscrew the thumb-screw on the back of the pedal and detach the backplate.
Unmount the old battery and attach the new battery to the battery clip making sure the polarity is correct.

Notes regarding batteries
Batteries must never be heated, taken apart or thrown into fire or water.
Only rechargeable batteries can be recharged.
Remove the battery when the pedal is not being used for a longer period of time to save battery life.
