Step 4: Start the Automatic Upgrade

If the advertising machine can enter the Android system normally, simply insert the USB flash drive into the Type-C port. No additional operation is required.

The system will automatically detect the firmware and start the upgrade.

During the upgrade process, the advertising machine will restart for the first time.

The second restart may take longer than a normal startup. Please wait patiently.

After the advertising machine restarts and successfully enters the Android system, you can remove the USB flash drive.
