2. Connect Astro to your computer with a USB cable.

3. Power on aircraft with one battery and wait about 15 seconds for aircraft to fully boot.

4. Using a browser such as Chrome or Safari, open the aircraft's info/update page at http://10.41.1.1 (internet connection is not needed).

5. In the Update Auterion OS box, click Browse, and select the firmware file downloaded above.

6. Click Update. (Should take about 10 minutes.)

7. After the update completion message, verify that the webpage shows a "Release name" that matches the downloaded file and that all the motor LEDs are on.
