Pull batteries and then replace ( watch for correct placement )

attempt update again, sometimes it will occur over night.

++ do not pull batteries while update is occuring ++

Pulling the batteries DID NOT help just like the last 3 times I tried it......so they were returned to the store........now I have an other set and the base doesn’t want to do a firmware upgrade........

Or you have a local problem, such as slow Internet speeds. What are they as measured by speedtest.net? If slow, you can take the system to a friend's house that has faster speeds and update there.
