4G connectionThe bike has a built in 4G connection which is used for many functions (tracking, lock/unlock, updating settings, over the air updates, Spotify, weather, etc). This connection is automated and you don't have to do anything to establish it. The connection should work world wide (EU, Nordics, Switzerland, UK, US, etc) with a few exceptions (mostly in the middle east and some in Africa. Contact support to know if your region is supported). However, it is possible that in some area's the connection is poor or insufficient to support the functions. If you are experiencing troubles, you can check the connection status in the about menu. You can see the type, signal strength and if you are connected to the cloud.

Updating the bikeEvery Specter has the possibility to remotely update the software of the bike. Once a new update is available you will get a prompt when you unlock the bike. You can choose to update the bike or skip for later. Depending on the strength of the internet connection, it might take some time to update. It's important that the bike has a good internet connection to do the update. As such it might be required to place the bike outside. We recommend to have at least 50% of battery charge before you do the update. In earlier versions (up until 1.1.38) you might experience troubles update while the bike is connected to a charger. When you click "update my bike", the update will start to download. Once downloaded, you will be asked to install the bike. If you leave the bike for some time while downloading, the screen will automatically lock. When you unlock the install prompt will appear again. Once installed, you will see this screen. If something went wrong during the installation proces, you will see this screen. At this point, it's recommended to restart the bike, place it outside and check the internet connection.
