Controller software will be upgraded and monitor will restart. Are you sure ? flashing during upgrade, but the data are being upgraded correctly. Notes Do not remove the USB memory stick, etc. from the controller during upgrading or disconnect the LAN cable between the monitor and controller. Do not turn off the power of the monitor and controller during upgrade. Do not upgrade the monitor if an error notification is displayed when the monitor is used with DC input.
If an HDMI EDID error occurs, disconnect the HDMI cable from the monitor, and then turn off and on the power of the monitor. For details of the error/warning display on the indicators, see page 10. After completion of upgrade, the system is restarted. The network between the monitor and controller is reconnected, and you can operate the controller. When the upgrade sequence does not move forward correctly, the error message [Err] is displayed in the display window.

Do not save any files other than the Installation Key file to the above folder. Do not change the contents of the Installation Key file. Connect the USB memory that contains the Installation Key file to the USB connector on the controller.
Troubleshooting This section may help you isolate the cause of a problem and as a result, eliminate the need to contact technical support. The picture that you wish to display is not displayed. The setting of the [Channel Configuration] menu does not correspond to the input signal. See the [System Status] menu (page 69) to confirm the setting. When the setting is different from the input signal, set in the [Channel Configuration] menu correctly (page 36).
