_______________________________________________

Occasionally, Fatigue Science will release new versions of Readiband firmware. This means we've made key improvements and/or fixed some bugs. Using your Sync app, you'll be able to quickly and easily update firmware on your Readibands.
​
​

How will I know there's a firmware update available?

The Sync app will let you know in two ways:

  1. The info icon ( i ) next to the Readiband's serial number will turn red, and

  2. A red dot will appear on the Actions button for the wearer.

Any bands that are up-to-date will not have a red icon, or a red dot on the Actions button for their band.
​ 
If you're in the Web app, you’ll notice the serial numbers for your user's bands will be red if their firmware isn't up to date.
​
​

How do I update firmware?

First, make sure the user's band is close-by and that the iPad is connected to Wi-Fi. 

Now you can start updating. Tap the Actions button and then select Update. When prompted, tap Update again to confirm.
​ 
​

Please keep the Readiband near the iPad until the process is confirmed complete. This may take up to two minutes.
​
After the update, confirm the Readiband is fully updated by checking:

  1. The info icon: this should no longer be red, and 

  2. The Actions button: the red dot should have disappeared
