It is always important to make sure you have the latest software updates for your Raptor and your smartphone app so that your Raptor experience will be flawless.  There are two easy ways to update the software.

You will be notified that a new Raptor software version has become available via an indication in the Everysight app once your Raptor is connected to the app. 

From this point, you can either download the software wirelessly and directly to your Raptor smartglasses, or by using a USB cable to install and update the software using your computer.

Please follow the below instructions:
