Maintenance

Software updates

To update, connect the Up to your computer using the micro-USB cable. The Up then appears as an external drive on your computer. Copy the update file onto your Up and safely remove/eject it from your PC or Mac. After an update, it takes the Up a little longer to start up.

If exposed to water

Never expose the Up to extreme temperatures, water, or mechanical force. The Up is not water resistant! Exposure to water or any other liquid will cause serious damage. In case your Up gets wet, remove the batteries immediately to prevent more damage. If your Element was exposed to salt water, rinse it in warm, clean, fresh water. Dry your Up thoroughly and return it to your vendor or directly to Flytec for servicing.
