(x= version nr.) on the SD-card root. This file can be downloaded at www.flarm.com.
Update procedure:
- Switch off the Flarm and insert the SD-card.
- Now switch on the device
- the procedure will start automatically, it takes about one minute.
- When ready, switch off the Flarm
- Please delete the firmware file from the SD-card after the update
Updating the obstacle database:
The firmware update will be executed, when the system finds a file with the extension
*.obs. on the SD-card root. The procedure runs identically to the firmware update and takes
a few minutes. Please delete the obstacle file from the SD-card after the update
All data must be in the SD-card root directory, folder/subfolder are not allowed. Names of
the files shall not be changed.
