The Flarm external display is a small unit and can be placed anywhere on the instrument
panel. To fix the device, use self-adhesive tape on the back of the device. For position on
the top of the instrument panel a suitable box is available.
11.1.2 Flarm Update Procedure
The Flarm is updated via the SD card. From the Flarm web (www.flarm.com) Support /
Updates page download the appropriate file and copy to the SD card (e.g. flarm_407.fw).
Enter password 89891 and select the Flarm update file. Wait until it is completed.
In case of a problem it is still possible to perform an update using FLARMtool and the serial
connection. Please refer to an older LX8000 manual for the detailed procedure.
11.1.3 Uploading Obstacles
Obstacles are updated via the SD card too. Go to the Flarm webpage, download the
obstacle file (e.g. alps20090727_.obs) and copy it to the SD card.
In the Files and Transfer menu select the Update Databases menu item. Select the
obstacle file and wait until the update completes.
11.1.4 Uploading FlarmNet Files
The FlarmNet information is also updated via the SD card. Go to the FlarmNet site
(www.flarmnet.org), select the Download latest FlarmNet File tab and download the file
for the LX8000 (e.g. 20091208.fln). Copy this file to the SD card.
