Before downloading/installing the update, make sure your device has enough charge left (60% at least) for the process to finish successfully. Also, it is wise to back up your personal data which will come in handy in case things go wrong.
And, as usual, connect to a Wi-Fi network before downloading the update to avoid additional data charges. You can, however, continue without switching to a Wi-Fi network if you have enough cellular data.
