7. Maintenance and Firmware Updates

The Wedo Paket 50 is designed for “fit and forget” use, but periodic checks are recommended every 6 months:

1. Visual inspection: Check for corrosion on connectors, loose ground, or moisture inside the case.
2. Verify battery health: Send BATTERY# via SMS – normal backup battery voltage should be 3.7-4.2V when unpowered. Below 3.0V means replacement is needed.
3. Firmware updates: Over-the-air (OTA) updates are pushed by your service provider. Do not attempt to update manually unless instructed by Wedo support. Partial updates can brick the device.

5. Daily Operation

How to update firmware:

1. Download the .bin update file from the official WeDo support site.
2. Connect via USB-B and use “WeDo Firmware Tool” (Windows only).
3. Do not interrupt power during the update (~3 minutes).
