NOTE: THIS IS A 2-PART STEP.

  1. The robot first updates to version 2.1.1, shuts down, and then
  2. Automatically updates to robot software 2.2.0.

This entire update process can take up to 3 minutes. During this period, do not remove the USB flash drive from the Neato robot.

Go to the robot LCD screen and select MAIN MENU/SETTINGS/SOFTWARE UPDATE and press the SELECT button to start the software update process. The robot will first update to 2.1.1 and then to 2.2.0 automatically. Then the robot will reboot again. This process will take up to 3 minutes.

Upon completion, the Neato robot will play the start-up chime and then show the main screen on its LCD. To verify, go to MAIN MENU/ABOUT/VERSION INFO and confirm that you have version 2.2.0 robot software.
