Update Driver for Belkin RS232 to USB adapter for HI-PRO

Hearing Aid Self-Fitting and Adjusting [DIY]
1

I spent the afternoon trying to get my aids to connect to my new HI-PRO using the Target software on my Windows 10 desktop via the RS232 to USB Adapter.

I finally googled the model number of the Belkin RS232 to USB adapter (F5U109) and found this page:

Under the tab “Version 2” I downloaded the driver for Windows 7/8 and installed it. After restarting the HI-PRO, my aids immediately connected.

Apparently, Windows 10 didn’t include the driver for the Belkin adapter. But the Windows 7/8 driver from the Belkin site appears to work.

Hopefully, this will help someone else if they have the same problem.

Nice going! It’s always a chore when the Hi-Pro acts up.
Remember to check whether the Hi-Pro firmware is updated either within target or with the stand-alone Hi-Pro utility.

Thanks. Looks like my HI-PRO firmware version is 3.00. I don’t see how to update it in Target. The “Updates” Tab seems to only pertain to the Target software. Is that the latest HI-PRO firmware version?

This utility tells you whether your firmware is up to date or can be updated. (Part of Phonak Target installation.) It also works for my serial HiPro.

I switched to Noahlink Wireless in January. No idea what the current firmware version is. 3.00 Could be it.

It can also be reached within Phonak.

We’re all learning. :wink:
Keep at it. This is rather rewarding to be able to do.
