Software Update Methods

The Totem Compass needs an external data connection to update its software. There are two different methods you can use to update your Totem's software.

1) WiFi Method

The recommended way to update your Totem's software is by connecting to your home WiFi network.

You can save your home WiFi's credentials onto your Totem by following these instructions.

Once you complete this process and save your WiFi credentials, your Totem can be easily updated any time you are home by triple-clicking the SOS Button.

2) HotSpot Method

Alternatively, you can also update your Totem Compass any time through a mobile HotSpot.

To use this method, you must change the credentials of your HotSpot to match the Universal Totem HotSpot.

Afterward, you can revert to your original HotSpot credentials until it's time to download the next Software Update.
