Updating the Smart Operation Panel Firmware
Enter the recovery mode to update the firmware of the Smart Operation Panel.
When [Quick] is selected for [Screen Startup Mode], the control panel cannot enter the recovery mode. Change the startup mode to [Normal]. When update is completed, restore the startup mode setting because the setting affects startup time.
