Follow our step-by-step guide to installing a LabQuest 2 update.

Step 1 – Download the update file

Download the update file LQ2_2.8.8_Update.lqa to your computer’s desktop. Choose to save the file rather than open it.

Save the update file to the root directory of a USB drive or Micro SD card.

Note: Do not put the update file into a folder on the USB drive or Micro SD card. It is important to copy the file directly to the “root” level of the USB drive, which is the top-most level in the file structure of the USB drive. In other words, do not put the file into a new folder, or into any existing folder.

Step 2 – Apply the update

• • • • • Turn LabQuest 2 on.
        • Connect the AC adapter or place LabQuest 2 in the LabQuest Charging Station.
        • Connect the USB drive or insert the Micro SD card into LabQuest 2.
        • Note: When using a LabQuest Charging Station and a Micro SD card, insert the Micro SD card before placing LabQuest 2 in the Charging Station.
        • The update will start automatically and will take less than eight minutes to complete (less than four minutes when using a Micro SD card). The update is complete when the Screen Calibration tool appears.
        • Do not remove the USB drive or Micro SD card until the update is complete.
        • Repeat Step 2 for all of your LabQuest 2 units.

Step 3 – Calibrate the screen and verify the update has been applied

• • • • • Calibrate the LabQuest screen by following the on-screen prompts.
        • Wait for the LabQuest app to launch. Tap System on the Home screen, then tap System Information.
        • Verify you are now running LabQuest app v2.8.8
