- 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

. 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

the files shall not be changed.
