Switch Philips SpeechMike into Browser Mode
To work with the SpeechMike Premium Touch or the SpeechMike Premium Air in the SpeechLive web recorder it has to be set to Browser mode and it has to be your default recording device in your operating system.

A description on how to define the SpeechMike as your default recording device can be found in the chapter Problems with sound recording.
On the SpeechMike Premium Air SMP4000 series the Browser mode can be enabled without any further preconditions.
However to follow the description below we recommend to upgrade the SpeechMike Premium Air to firmware version 4.50 or later.
The currently loaded firmware version can be viewed in the device information of the SpeechControl software (see Firmware upgrade section).
The SpeechMike Premium Touch SMP3700/3800 series only supports the Browser mode from firmware 3.50 onwards.

To enable the Browser mode on your SpeechMike proceed as follows:
Press EOL and INS/OVR simultaneously for 3 seconds.
All corresponding LEDs will start flashing. You can now change the SpeechMike button mode for 10 seconds.
Click on F3 to switch your SpeechMike to Browser mode. The F3-LED will light up to confirm the new button mode setting.
Note
You have 10 seconds to select a mode. After 10 seconds, you will automatically exit mode selection and need to restart the mode selection steps.
You can always check your current button mode by briefly pressing the End-of-letter/priority (•EoL/••Prio) button and the Insert/overwrite (INS/OVR) button simultaneously.
The LED assigned to the current mode shortly lights up orange, e.g. if the currently activated mode is the Browser mode, the LED of the F3 button lights up orange.
If the displayed mode does not match the Browser mode please change the mode as described above.
