Please follow these steps to update your KT 360 unit with the latest firmware updates.
As this process requires an update to the hardware first, and then the tablet software, it must be performed with a pair of a KT360 Tablet and KT360 hardware. If you have multiple KT360s and this is not possible, please contact your Customer Success Manager for instructions on how to manually update the host software and firmware.
Once you have a KT360 Hardware Unit and a KT360 Tablet with the Webapp open, you can follow the below instructions.
- Schedule and begin any Testing or Training session.
- Once the tablet is connected to the KT360 Hardware, a warning icon (triangle with an exclamation mark inside) should appear in the bottom left of the screen next to the connected indicator.
- Click on the warning icon.
- A message will tell you that a firmware update is available, click the Start Update button.
- Wait while the files are downloaded, then follow the instructions on the screen to select the DFU device.
- Wait until the firmware is fully transferred to the KT360 Hardware. The light of the KT360 may turn off during this process, that’s OK.
- Once the update is complete, follow the instructions to turn on your device and reload the page.
- Now to update the Host Software and establish connection with the new firmware, click on the warning icon in the bottom right of the screen - the same place as before.
- Click to download the installer.
- The installer should show in the bottom left corner of the screen. If it does not, find it in your computer’s Downloads folder. Run the installer.

WHY IS MY UNIT NOT CONNECTING TO THE TABLET?
This may occur on rare occasions but is easily resolved.
Double-check Bluetooth is turned on and that the tablet is connected to Wifi.
Turn the unit off and wait at least 30 seconds, then turn it on again and reload the web page.
