3. General information
Firmware update
Flytec will also issue firmware updates from time to time to improve your
Element's performance and to update you with new features, such as
airspace support. These will be easy to install, drag-and-drop files just like your
tracks. Check the Flytec Element product page for the latest firmware and news about
your Element.
Changing language
At the moment the Element ships with three firmware editions for German,
French, and English ready for installation in the update folder. The stored
firmware versions end in ._pg and to activate another language, simply rename the
file ending to .upg. For future language changes, just download the newest firmware
in your preferred language and drop it into the update folder.
Batteries
If you choose to power your Element with NiMH rechargeable batteries, it is
important to configure the power supply setting on the device.
Press and hold

Never remove the batteries until you first switch off your Element. We do not
recommend using NiCad rechargeable batteries.
Do not keep your Element plugged into the computer for a prolonged time after
exchanging files with it. Keeping it plugged in drains the instrument's battery.
