To install apk files from a USB storage device, we first must Allow Installation from Unknown sources.
On the Home/Launcher screen scroll down to the Settings shortcut.
Once in the Settings, scroll down to the 'Device Preferences' option and then the 'Security & Restrictions' option.
Open the 'Unknown Sources' option and highlight and turn on the 'File Browser' app seen there.
If you have other apps that have the capability to install apk files, then you would see them listed here too and can enable them.
Press the Back button to go back one page.
There we will also see a 'Verify Apps' option and that by default is turned on. It is optional thou and if you have previously verified that the apks/apps you are about to install are free of malware, then you can turn this off, but I like to leave it on for added security.
Press the Back button to return to Launcher screen (the ARQ-100 Remote's Back button does not seem to work for this , so use the XR4000 remote Control for this).
Once back on Launcher screen, scroll up to All Apps and open it and find the File Browser and open it.
Insert your USB stick that has the apk files to be installed now (or you could insert that stick earlier).
You should see the USB drive appear in the list... mine shows as 'SanDisk USB drive'
Open that and choose your apk file to install.
Follow on-screen directions.
Select either 'Done' or 'Open' when it has finished installing.
I select 'Done' so I can go look on Launcher screen for my app.
Use the Back button to return to Launcher screen.
Open the 'All Apps' shortcut again and you should now see the app that you just installed.
With the 4500 model, you can also find the App Installer located on the Launcher Screen, which works similar to the File Browser.
