 The firmware procedure should start immediately after pressing the '''OK''' button. During the update, please do not do anything! Just wait until the progress has gone up to 100%, which will take a few seconds when using a computer with USB2SYS and may take several minutes (!) when using a smartphone with BLE2SYS bluetooth connection. When using the bluetooth keep your smartphone/tablet in very close distance to the BLE2SYS module (just a few inches) as the bluetooth connection can be interrupted easily. Also it is advisable to keep the radio system switched off when performing the update and stay aways from other radio devices, i.e. wifi routers or similar.

	For the update procedure it is highly recommended to unplug all servos as the servo can go to full deflection during the setup. This is because the outputs of your device will not send out any signals during the update process. In such situation some servos can behave very strange or unforeseen, especially cheap servos with bad servo software. Using an electric heli it is also recommended to unplug the motor from the ESC or unplug the ESC or main battery in case this is not used for powering the radio system (no BEC), so the motor will not start by accident during or after the firmware update.<br />
