Wireless Update
Before Beginning
- Ensure the HMT-1 is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Do not move out of the Wi-Fi network range while the download is in progress.
- Ensure the HMT-1’s battery is charged to at least 30% (50% recommended).
- If the HMT-1 device is connected to a computer, disconnect before updating.
All applications and user data will be preserved through the update process. However, whenever updating firmware we always suggest backing up your personal files including photos, images, and documents before proceeding.
Previous OS Versions
If your HMT is currently on an operating system version below 11.0.x (e.g. 10.5, 9, 8.09, 7.0x, etc.), you must upgrade through the next highest version or versions of software before you will be able to upgrade to the current version. When performing these upgrades, it is critical that you back up all user-generated data on your HMT device — upgrading from Release 10.5.0 to 11.0 will erase all data on the HMT.
For more information on the upgrade path for the HMT-1 and HMT-1Z1, please see our Firmware Update and Support Policy.
Note: Screenshots in this article reflect the current upgrade process, and may vary depending on your current OS version.
