Once you have received the update code, follow these steps:
1. Copy the desired software update to the root of the microSD card. The update file should
have the word Era within its name and an extension of .lxu
2. Turn the device on and insert the microSD card
3. Go to
Setup
>
Service
>
Software update
4. Select the desired update file
5. When prompted, type in the update code supplied by LX support
6. The device will copy the file to the internal memory and perform the update. It may restart
a couple of times.
7. Once the update has finished, verify that the update has been successful by going to
Setup
>
Service
>
Device info
and checking that the SW version has changed to the
desired one
NOTE
While the Zeus version of the Era will restart automatically, a standalone Era
requires the bottom push-rotary knob to be pressed in order to turn them on, after
the file has been copied, for the updating process to proceed.
WARNING
Once the Era has been updated, it will update all CAN-compatible devices (LX
Joy, second seat device, etc). For this reason, the Era should be left ON for at
least five minutes after the main unit has been successfully updated. If the
update of CAN units is ongoing, an infobox will appear, notifying the pilot.
WARNING
Great care should be taken not to turn the device off while the updating process
is running. Data corruption may occur. If something similar happens, contact LX
support immediately, in order to recover you unit.

Turning the Era off
The Era can be turned off in different ways, depending on the configuration you have.
All units will start the shutdown process once the power supply is cut from the main power
lines or the CAN bus, the latter representing a shutdown of the Zeus, unless in flight mode.
There is a possibility of a manual shutdown by going to
Setup
>
Shutdown
and confirming by
choosing ’Yes’.
In case a device requires a force shutdown,
there is a possibility of performing a hard
shutdown by pressing and holding the PAGES push-rotary knob for 10 seconds
.
