After downloading Systray, simply click on the arrow located in the right corner of your desktop bar. Then select the blue Systray icon and choose "Check for update." You will receive a notification informing you that a new update is available. Click on the notification and patiently wait for the update to complete.

During the update process, ensure that your Hiru device remains connected. You will receive a notification that the Hiru will restart; allow this process to happen and keep Hiru connected throughout. Once you see the infrared lights turn back on, you can check for updates again. If you receive a notification stating "You already have the latest Hiru update," it means that the update was successful. 🎉

You can watch a detailed walkthrough of the update process in the video provided above.

NOTE: Once you update your Hiru firmware, it gets saved inside of the Hiru so you can use it on both Windows or iPad devices and the firmware remains up to date at all times.
