Step 2: Connect the Beacon to Your Computer

Connect the Beacon to your computer. Press the Beaconโ€™s function button for 10 seconds to get to the detection page. The Flykit tool will automatically detect the connected hardware. If it doesnโ€™t detect the Beacon, try unplugging and re-plugging the connection cable while the Beacon is powered on. The tool will detect the Beacon and proceed to the next step.

Step 4: Review the Update Instructions

After clicking โ€œUpdate,โ€ make sure youโ€™ve got everything in check:
