Requisites

1 - 找到標籤下方的隱藏按鈕

在標籤上的這個位置（USB 麥克風和 VEKTA 面罩）有一個孔，可以從這裡按下按鈕。請找到它：

2 - 連接 USB 線到電腦時，按住按鈕

用針或非常細的別針按下按鈕，並在連接 usb 線到電腦時持續按住。重點是在連接線材時，按鈕必須保持按下狀態。無論是透過 USB-A 還是 USB-C 連接都可以。

（選填：若要確認此流程是否正確完成，面罩現在應該不會被辨識為耳機裝置，而是會在裝置管理員中顯示為 COM 裝置。）

3 - 使用 ESP 指令碼更新韌體

按下下方按鈕（「更新韌體」）。需要在桌面版 Chrome 或 Edge 上操作。

如果你沒有在清單中看到 USB JTAG 裝置，請先中斷面罩連線，然後重試前一步：在將面罩 USB 線連接到 PC 時按住按鈕。

彈出視窗會列出多個已連接的裝置。

請選擇 USB JTAG 裝置。

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

4 - 點擊安裝 VEKTA-Lite v1.9

5 - 選擇「清除裝置」，然後按一下「下一步」

6 - 點擊「安裝」

7 - 等待安裝完成

8 - 安裝完成後，按一下「下一步」

9 - 檢查一切是否正常運作

現在你可以拔除並重新連接面罩（不用按住閃燈按鈕），再測試看看效果。
