Use and Care Manual

Occasionally, firmware releases are planned or the process may get interrupted. Rather than waiting
for the system to prompt the firmware update, you may choose to do the update at your own
convenience.
Tip: During the firmware update process, the power button is red, indicating that the update is in
progress. If the update process is interrupted or unsuccessful, the power button will stay red and
prevent you from turning your machine o. In the unlikely event that this happens, restart the
firmware process manually.
Step 1: After you’ve logged in with your Cricut ID, select “Update Firmware” from the Account menu.
Step 2: Power on your Cricut® machine and connect it to your computer.
Cricut Explore® machines must be connected via USB; firmware update is not available
