   • To allow the device to update at any time, select "When an update is available".
   • To allow the device to update at a specific time every day, select "Daily".
   • To allow the device to update at a specific time on certain days of the week, select "Weekly". Click on the days that the device should be permitted to update.
   • To allow the device to update at a specific time only on a specific day of the month, select "Monthly". Use the dropdown to select which day of the month the device can update on.
