Using a Thumb Drive

  • Requirements:
    • Ensure the PosSysAssistant application version is at least 2.11.22.
  • Preparation:
    • Create a directory "\cloudpos\image" on the thumb drive.
    • Depending on the firmware package's root folder, copy the 'xxx.zip' file accordingly (refer to detailed instructions).
  • Update Process:
    • Connect the thumb drive to the terminal using an OTG-USB host converter.
    • Select the firmware file from the pop-up message.
    • After copying the firmware to internal storage, restart the terminal to apply the update.
    • Verify the update in 'Settings > About POS'.

Using a TF-Card (When Terminal is On)

  • Follow the same steps as the thumb drive method.
  • Note: This method is not applicable for Wizarhand Q1 models as the battery must be removed to insert the TF-Card.
