**Installation Process:**
1. Download the Sofa Butler installation file to a USB drive or SD card.
2. Insert the USB drive or SD card into your TCL L40P1-F TV.
3. Navigate to the "Software Recovery" option on your TV.
4. Open the installation file and proceed with the setup.
5. Once installed, you’ll see the Sofa Butler app on your TV’s application menu.
**Step-by-Step Guide:**

2. After downloading the APK file, copy it to a USB drive or SD card.
3. Create a new folder named "TVManager" on the USB drive or SD card. Inside this folder, create a subfolder called "backup" and place the downloaded APK file in it. If you’re using an existing SD card, look for the "backup" folder directly.

**Troubleshooting Tips:**
- If your TV doesn’t recognize the USB drive, try formatting it in FAT32 format first. Make sure to back up any important data before formatting.
