Troubleshooting Tips

  • If you encounter any issues updating the Firmware, try the below steps.
    • Reconnect Wi-Fi and try update process again.
    • Reset your AILA and try the update process again.
  • AILA must have a battery of 50% or more to download a new update.
  • Once the software update completes, new content may download in the background. If you begin a learning session while content is loading (verifiable by the cloud icon in the top right), it may not work.  To resolve this, put it on Broadcast mode until the content finishes downloading.  If that still doesn’t correct it, please restart the device and try again.
After the "Cloud Icon" disappears from the Home Screen, please try starting a Learning Session.
