No, it means you are being advised to upgrade the firmware in the BT8010 to the latest version to have improved function. It does not mean your BT8010 won't work, it just won't be a versatile as if you did the upgrade. You will need the follow Jabra's instructions how to download the firmware from their internet site and install it,
I have one too and was told that the Jabra is slowly fading out. I had to have mine replaced twice due to the same problem. go to where you bought this item and ask for a replacement for there is a warranty on these devices.
