Attach the footpods to the charger.

Make sure that the footpods are attached to the ARION charger, and that the charger is attached to a power outlet.

Pair and connect the ARION footpods.

Launch the beta app, open the menu and press ‘Devices‘. Make sure the ARION footpods are paired and connected to the phone.

Select the GPS footpod.

We’ll update the GPS pod first. If there’s an update available you should see a blue label stating ‘Update available’. Tap on the GPS footpod icon.

In the next screen, tap ‘Software version‘.

Update the firmware.

Tapping ‘Update software‘ will start the firmware update. Wait until this process is completely finished. In case you encounter an error during this process, simply tap OK and restart the firmware update. This might take a few tries.

Important: Do not remove the footpods from the charger or the charger from the power. For the best chances of a successful firmware update, don’t lock the phone and keep the phone screen turned on.

Confirm the firmware update

Make sure the firmware update was successful. After the update is completed it should state the line ‘Software is up-to-date‘. When returning to the devices screen the blue label should be gone, indicating there is no other firmware update available.

(Optional): Update the non-GPS pod

In case you have received a Pro pack, don’t forget to also update the firmware of the other (non-GPS) footpod. For this simply repeat steps 4 – 6 for the other pod.

All done!

That’s it! Your footpods are now ready to start recording your phoneless running sessions.
