During ARRL 160m last night, maestro reboots by himself few times per hour for some reason.
Doesn't matter if i connected remotely to Flex, or SmrathControl SmartSDR. 
Any idea?

    no, remove your battery pack, charge it with a USB cable.
    Maestro has 2 different batteries. One inside of the Tablet and one removable and this battery you can only charge if you remove.

    I assume that once you were done the contest, the Maestro worked as designed?

    Have you considered you had an RFI issue with RF getting into the DC of the Maestro and causing it to reboot?  

    Does it do this on any other bands?

    Got it

    Is it still doing it or did it only reboot during the contest?  If it continues to reboot, I would recommend opening a support case as this is very unusual.

    Does it only reboot when you’re using batteries? What if you’re using only the wall adapter that came with the unit?

    I had is behavior b4 a long time; i change battery pack and it was gone. Since that time i change after some weeks (also if i am not using the battery) and charge again.

    I your case i dont know how you fix this. Hope Mike can give your a hint - before you have to send back to FRS.
    Cross my fingers.
