System Setup Options

System Setup Options are used for system maintenance and software updates. The System Setup options are also accessible from the Main Menu Screen, by pressing the F1 key to access the System Setup screen. System Options include System Flash Memory Update (F) and Load Factory Settings (F12).

Caution: Do NOT use System Setup Options during normal operation, as these will erase all user-entered data and may require a system reset. Updating the FLASH memory requires that the System re-enumerate (reboot) which can interrupt normal operation.

Refer to Section 7 for System Maintenance features and instructions.
