How to prepare your Nano V1 for updating

Step 1 of 3

Connect and enable update mode

Make sure the power switch is OFF and the USB cable is disconnected. Hold down the small button on your Nano with one hand, and with the other hand connect the USB cable to your PC or laptop. Your Nano is now in boot mode and ready to receive firmware.

The status LED will be off — that's normal in boot mode. The charging LED may still light up, which is fine and just means the USB connection is good.

Tip: It can be easier to plug the cable into the Nano first, then hold the button while you connect the other end to your computer.
