Using the DS-5500 in Windows 10

The Olympus® Dictation Module software does not recognize my DS-5500 recorder.

Environment

  • Windows® 10
  • ODMS R6.4 Patch0009
  • Olympus DS-5500

 

Resolution

The DS-5500 won’t work with this version of ODMS on Windows 10 without the latest firmware upgrade, v2.01. You’re going to need to update the firmware on the device:

  • Follow these instructions to unzip the file.
  • Open the folder named “DS5500_201FwUp.”
