--> How do I update my device to the latest Firmware

Top FAQs commonly asked by our Siyata Customers

First, fill out the FOTA update request form to ensure one of our Siyata Support team members loads your device/devices into our FOTA server.  If you device shows 'No Firmware Available', it has not been loaded yet.

Step 1 - Ensure the SD7 device is charged and has at least 30% charge on the battery.  It will not process the FOTA update if battery is less than 30%.

Step 2 - Ensure you are in a strong 4G/LTE signal area (4 bars on the top screen) or the download could take a long time.  If a strong 4G/LTE signal is not available, we do recommend connecting your device to WiFi.

Step 3 - From the Device, click down on the Rotary Dial to enter the Menu (Siyata SD7 screen).  

Step 4 - Using the Rotary dial, Scroll to System, click down on Rotary dial, Scroll to FOTA Update and click down on Rotary dial.  

Step 5 - The device screen will say 'Checking New Version'.  It should find a new version is available and on the screen say 'New Firmware:xxxx5SU Click Download'

Step 6 - Click down on the Rotary Dial to start the Download.  You will get a 'Download %' displayed.  

Step 7 - When the download finishes (100%), you will get a message that says 'Click to Upgrade'. Click down 1 time on the Rotary Dial and wait.  There is a slight delay for the Upgrade to start - do not click down more than 1 time.

Step 8 - The screen will now say 'Please wait...upgrading XX%'

Step 9 - When the Upgrade reaches 100%, the Screen will say 'To take effect, Click to Reboot'.  Click down on the Rotary Dial.

Step 10 - The device screen will turn off, device will vibrate, and it will reboot on its own.  The device may reboot 2 times to process the update.  Be patient.

Step 11 - Once device is back online, click on the Menu and scroll to About click down, scroll to Version and it should now read 'xxxxx5SU' - if it does not, you may need to repeat steps 3 to 9 as that device may need 2 upgrades.

Step 12 - Once device is confirmed to be on the latest firmware version, please fill out the Change PTT Application Request form and specify what PTT application is needed on the device.
