# How to Upgrade the Lock Firmware

### How to Check for a Firmware Upgrade

To check if your lock needs a firmware upgrade, look for the upgrade icon next to the lock in the app.

### Steps to Upgrade the Firmware

1. **Prepare for the Upgrade:**
   
     - Ensure you have an assigned key for the lock, as you'll need to open the lock first.
2. **Start the Process:**
   
     - **Open the lock:** We recommend opening the lock to start the upgrade.
     - Click on the lock icon in the app and let the app connect to it.

3. **Initiate the Upgrade:**
   
     - Click on the arrow located in the bottom-right corner of the lock page.

4. **During the Upgrade:**
   
     - The app will start upgrading the lock. This operation might take a few seconds to complete.
       
       ![Teleporte\_OTA (4)](https://cx.sera4.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Teleporte_OTA%20(4).png?width=246&height=340&name=Teleporte_OTA%20(4).png)
     - **Attention:** Keep your phone close to the lock to avoid any connection issues.
5. **Completion:**
   
     - Once the upgrade is finished, the app will notify you that the upgrade was successful, and the upgrade icon will disappear from the lock.

### Post-Upgrade Testing

After the upgrade, it is crucial to test the lock to ensure everything went smoothly. Follow these steps:

1. Open and close the lock at least three times.
2. Wait at least 5 seconds between each operation.

This will help ensure that the upgrade was successful.
