Reinstall Firmware

You can restore the QuattroPod by manually reinstalling the firmware. There are several reasons for this:

  • The QuattroPod cannot be turned on. The power supply has already been checked. In this case, it may be due to an interrupted firmware upgrade.

  • The QuattroPod is unstable and a reset did not help.

  • You have the choice: Either simply install the latest firmware or a different firmware.

A firmware reinstallation will reset all settings.
