Upgrading Firmware

Occasionally, upgrades may be available for your device’s firmware 
that add functionality or fix issues. To upgrade your device, down-
load the new firmware to your PC and open the file. Once open, 
press the upgrade button on the device using a paperclip, pin, or 
similar and connect the device to your computer via USB. The 
upgrade should occur automatically, and a notification will appear 
on your screen once it has been completed.
