How do I update the firmware on my Toast Go® handheld?

  2. From the Android home screen, select the Settings (gear) icon. 
  3. Select System.
  4. Select Advanced.
  5. Select System updates.
  6. If the current version is not equal to or higher than 1.1.52, select Check for update. This will manually trigger your device to check for the latest update.
    1. Note: If a new update is not detected immediately, you can select Check for updates up to 3 times. If the update is still not detected, contact Toast Customer Care for further assistance. 
  7. After an update is detected, select Install now and then OK. It may take several minutes for the update to be downloaded and installed on your device.
  8. When the firmware update is complete, select Restart now to apply the update to your device.
