Optical Xplorer 163

Upgrading Applications and Firmware

Note: You need a smart device equipped with the TestFlow mobile application to

be able to configure a wireless network, connect your unit to it, and then

receive the available updates.

All the necessary applications have been preinstalled and configured at the

factory. However, you may have to upgrade some of them or upgrade the

firmware when new versions become available.

Your unit allows you to check for updates, download these updates and

install them directly.

Note: Your unit must have access to an Internet connection (via Wi-Fi) to be able

to download updates and install them.

IMPORTANT

For a trouble-free upgrade, ensure that you connect your unit to a

power outlet and that your unit remains on during all the process.
