SL Access OTA Splash Screen

Enter the ADMIN Passcode
After the splash screen, you will be asked for the ADMIN passcode of the device you wish to update. 
NOTES:
- Use the ADMIN passcode of the device you intend to update.
- If you enter the wrong passcode, when you later select the device to update, you will be asked to enter the passcode again.
- The SL Access OTA app will lock up after 3 invalid passcodes. The device will need to be powered down and then powered up again to retry. You may also have to close the app and reopen it.
After the splash screen, a device selection screen will appear as shown below:
NOTES:
- You will see a list of Already Paired Devices paired to your phone. These can be ignored.
- The section Device (or OTA) Available for Update: will show any devices in range that can be updated. In the example above, there are two devices that can be updated.
- If you don’t see your device, move closer to make sure you are in Bluetooth range and click “Scan” to refresh the list.
Choose the Desired Device
Choose the name of the device you want to update (one beep will sound). In the above example, we will choose BLE Access Ctrl.- To move to the next step, click Select Target.
NOTES:
- The device with the strongest signal will appear at the top of the screen. If no device appears, move closer to the device and press Scan to refresh the list.
- Ignore any devices in the Already Paired Devices section.
- If the passcode you entered earlier is incorrect for this device, you will be asked to enter it again. The app will lock after 3 invalid passcodes. To try again, remove power to the device, reconnect power, and restart the process. You may also have to close the app and reopen it.
- Once you choose your device to update, you must finish the process and allow the OTA app to upload a firmware version as in the following steps.
Choose the Firmware Source
Click the RB8762_OTA that will now appear in the Device (or OTA) Available for Update: list.- A firmware version: dropdown will now appear. Click on this dropdown to see a list of firmware versions.
NOTES:
- You will also see any other available device in range. Do not choose at this time. At this point, choose only the OTA update. You can update other devices later.
- Any compatible device in range will show here. That does not mean that it does not already have the latest firmware installed.
Select and Upload the Firmware
- Choose the correct firmware version (normally the latest version).
- Click the Upload button to start the process. A continuous beep will sound.
NOTE: If, for any reason, you decide to remain with the current firmware version, you must still complete the process in the app. Failure to do so may render your device inaccessible (see Troubleshooting, pg. 11 to fix). Simply choose your current firmware version and let the app upload that version back to your device. 
The device will continue to sound a long beep during the entire process. Wait on the update to complete.
When the update has completed another short beep will sound and the Firmware successfully updated popup will appear. Click OK to finish.
NOTES:
- To update a second device, after clicking on OK, you can click Select Target and choose another device.
- Once you have downloaded the SL Access OTA app the first time, if your phone is set to automatically update apps, this app will also update when there is a revision, giving you access to any firmware updates. However, it will not notify you of available updates. Check the product page on the SECO-LARM website to see if a new update is available if you encounter problems.
