Updating the Firmware
During an update, the drive must NOT turn off due to power loss or the update may permanently damage the Wireless Flash drive. To prevent this issue, make sure the wireless flash drive is fully charged and do not interrupt the update process until it is complete.
1. Make sure a microSDHC™ card is inserted into your Wireless Flash Drive.
2. Connect your Drive to a computer via USB
3. Drag the update file onto the Drive. Make sure to put it in the root or main directory and not in a sub folder.
4. Safely eject the wireless drive
On a Windows Computer, go to My Computer, right-click on the Wireless Flash Drive, then choose Eject.
On a Mac computer, find the Wireless Flash Drive on your desktop and right-click on it, then choose Eject.
WARNING: Do NOT physically remove your drive from the computer without properly ejecting it first.

Your drive will appear on your computer again when the update is complete. If the update process does not begin automatically within 15-20 seconds after you have ejected the drive, be sure you have ejected the drive or done a 'safely remove' operation, then disconnect the drive from the USB port and plug it in again.
