Upgrade Troubleshooting

  1. Make sure that the handles do not have batteries inside them while updating the handles.
  2. If the computer doesn’t read the FIZ, please try with another cable.
  3. If you see the ERROR! during upgrading, please try another motor cable and also make sure the battery is charged.
