7 Software Updates

7.1 Receiving a software update notice

When a new software is available, an alert on your device notifies you and encourages you to
connect your device to a PC to receive this upgrade. There are two types of software upgrades—
optional and mandatory.

Optional Upgrade

An optional upgrade notification appears only once. Dismissing the notification causes it to never
display again. For an optional upgrade, you are notified that an update is available (instead of
required).

Mandatory Upgrade

A mandatory upgrade notification appears each time the device is powered on. It is possible that a
mandatory upgrade may render your device unusable after a certain period of time until you
upgrade the software. For a mandatory upgrade, you are notified that an update is required
(instead of available).

7.2 Updating device software

Connect your device to a PC using the USB cable. The software update must be downloaded
from

www.flotv.com

. You must then install the new software onto your device, following the

instructions on the update tool.

NOTE:

Do not disconnect the device from the PC during the software upgrade.

If the device does not complete the software update due to a disconnection, file corruption, or
some other reason, the device will revert back to the previous software build and function
properly.
