Firmware Installation
Before upgrading firmware, ensure that the scanner battery and your mobile device are both fully charged to ensure that the devices do not lose power during the upgrade. Loosing power during an upgrade could damage your device.
- Switch on the Blink scanner and connect to the Stream App. When Stream connects to scanner, you will see a message informing you that firmware is available.
- Tap Install to begin the installation process. The LED ring will begin to quickly flash white. Do not remove the battery from the scanner or switch off your mobile device during installation. Doing so could damage your device.
- During installation, the Blink WiFi network will go offline. When it reappears, the upgrade is complete.
- Restart the scanner. Check your network settings and reconnect when it is available.
