Recovering System by System Loader

When there is a system-critical problem that interferes with the normal operation of the target panel, users may need to boot into the system loader mode, which allows them to troubleshoot their target panel or update the application. Once you have corrected the problem, you can reboot and the target panel will run normally.

To get the target panel into the system loader mode, press the upper-left corner for 3 seconds while the power is on, once there is a beeping sound, the System Loader screen will be displayed as shown below:
