Remote Update Screen

The Remote Update application starts automatically when you launch the APM software, and it periodically checks for any available software updates for your APM. By default, the search for updates occurs once every 24 hours. If software updates are available, Remote Update downloads the updates to the APM. Depending on the type of update, Remote Update will either apply the update in the background or automatically restart the APM to apply the update (most common).

You can specify a time for Remote Update to look for updates by entering the time in the "Check for updates after" field or enter the number of hours in the "Check for updates every X hours" field. You can also undo the default option of installing the updates upon start-up by un-checking that box.

There is an option to manually download any applicable updates by clicking or touching the Download button. If there are any updates, a notification is displayed at the bottom of the dialog box (where the next scheduled check information is normally displayed). Once you complete a manual download, you can then install the updates manually by clicking the Install button. To exit Remote Update, press the Quit button.
