First, please download the “iLX-F905D_USB-Stick.zip”and follow the instructions.
The iLX-F905D / iLX-F115D / iLX-705D / i905D can be updated via
USB 1 connection (see connection diagram below). Before starting the update,
please check following notes. The download file is compressed in zip format. The
contents of the download files need to be extracted to a freshly formatted USB
device (FAT32). The update takes 5 to 10 minutes.
Notes
•Do NOT use the compressed file for update, otherwise the unit cannot recognize the files.
