5. Click "OK" to start the firmware upgrade. After the upgrade is completed, "Download successfully!" will be displayed. Click "确定" and then "Cancel" to exit the upgrade tool.

Note: As shown in the figure below, please click the "Cancel" button in this interface to exit the software; do not click "OK", otherwise the software will re-enter the upgrade state.
