      Video Guide

      Your device is configured to keep its Operating System (OS) up to date via Over-the-Air (OTA) updates distributed by RealWear. RealWear Navigator will not update automatically.

      WARNING

      RealWear recommends you avoid excessive operations and install firmware updates at a time when you are not using your RealWear Navigator.

      IMPORTANT

      RealWear Navigator must have a battery charge of at least 30% to install updates. If your battery does not have a sufficient charge, plug your RealWear Navigator into the USB-C charger and charge your device to at least 30% to continue with any updates. 

      To download and install a wireless firmware update, do the following:

      1. Make sure RealWear Navigator is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
      2. From the home page, say “MY PROGRAMS”.
      3. Say “WIRELESS UPDATE”.
        Note: If the user message “Your device’s software is currently up to date” appears, you have the latest update. If the user message does not appear, go to step 4.

        Note: If a firmware update is available, the update details appear on the display.
      5. Say “DOWNLOAD”.
      6. Wait for the download to complete.
        Note: When the download is complete, you can choose to install the firmware update now or schedule the update later.
