1 - 找到标签下方的隐藏按钮

在标签上的这个位置（用于 USB 麦克风和 VEKTA 面罩）有一个孔，可以通过它按下按钮。请找到它：

2 - 连接 USB 线到电脑时按住按钮

用针或很细的针脚按下按钮，并在将 USB 线连接到电脑时持续按住。重要的是，在连接线缆的整个过程中，按钮都必须保持按下状态。无论是通过 USB-A 还是 USB-C 连接都没有影响。

（可选：要检查这个过程是否已正确完成，面罩现在应该不会被识别为耳机设备，而是会在设备管理器中显示为 COM 设备。）

3 - 使用 ESP 脚本更新固件

点击下方按钮（“更新固件”）。需要在桌面端使用 Chrome 或 Edge。

如果你没有在列表中看到 USB JTAG 设备，请断开面罩连接，并重试上一步：在将面罩 USB 线连接到电脑时按住按钮。

弹出窗口会列出多个已连接的设备。

请选择 USB JTAG 设备。

Use Chrome or Edge on Windows. This only works on HTTPS or localhost.

4 - 点击安装 VEKTA-Lite v1.9

5 - 选择“抹掉设备”，然后点击“下一步”

6 - 点击“安装”

7 - 等待安装完成

8 - 安装完成后，点击“下一步”

9 - 检查一切是否正常运行

现在你可以断开并重新连接面罩（无需按住闪烁按钮），然后测试它的运行情况。
