In this guide, we'll learn how to push an upgraded version of our software on your Ascend S2 Monitor to improve functionalities with third party apps such as Zwift and Kinomap.

Step 1.1) The first step is to download a File Manager application. We recommend Files, the official Google application for File Management.
Step 1.2) You now need to grant access to the application. Click on 'Allow', then toggle on the 'Allow permission' switch.
