# How can I manage the OTA (over the air) update notifications on my Blade?

- The settings for the Blade OTA update notifications mechanism can be found in Settings, under Software Update > Update Alerts. For the OTA process to work, the Blade must be connected to a Wi-Fi network and charged to at least 50% battery.
- This feature has three modes, each will be described below:
  - Disabled - This option will fully disable the notifications mechanism, preventing the Blade from proactively contacting our OTA server to check for updates.
  - Notify Once - This option will display a pop-up notification when a new download is available, or when a download completes. It will notify the user only once.
  - Notify and Alert Periodically - This option will display a pop-up notification once per every 24 hours when there is a download available or a download completes.
