    that message appears because old Acer's FOTA update servers are down.

     

    so to check about any update (the last was years ago), you have to check manually on Acer support website:

    http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers/3852;-;A501

     

    select your operating system (android version), then click on OS

    I'm not an Acer employee.

    The message is wrong, it actually means the tablet couldn't connect to the update servers, so it must be a poor connection. Actually the servers for these old models have been taken down. The updates are all available through the support site, but since there aren't new ones being developed, they figured the live update servers weren't needed any longer.
