There are a number of ways to update your Engine DJ OS hardware, below we explore each option available to you.

Engine DJ OS devices connected to a Wi-Fi (or wired) network can download and install the next update directly on the device. (Requires firmware version 1.6.0 or higher)

- Ensure your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network by tapping the Wi-fi icon at the top of the display. This will open the Wi-fi connection menu. Tap the Wi-fi icon until it is lit up to enable Wi-fi on your device.
- If you have not already, use the Wi-fi connection menu to choose a local Wi-fi network. If a password is required, you will be prompter to enter it. Once a connection is established, Connected will appear next to the network name.
- Open the CONTROL PANEL by swiping down from the top of the screen.
- Navigate to the ABOUT / UPDATE tab, if an update is available you will see this here, select UPDATE.

TWO | INSTALLER APPLICATION
This option requires a USB cable connection from the device to your computer running the installer app and will walk you through each step needed to update.
- Head to the Engine DJ downloads page and, under the OS section, select the device you wish to update.
