External USB storage device	Copy the APK file to an external storage device. Connect the external storage device via the USB port on the right side of the headset.
Transfer to internal storage	Connect the headset to your computer using the USB Type-C port on the right side of the headset. The Choose USB mode dialog box will then appear in the headset. Select File transfer. In your computer, open a file management app such as File Explorer and navigate to VIVE Focus Vision. Click Internal shared storage. Copy the APK file to the Download folder.

In the headset, go to Settings > Advanced.
