1. Чтобы попасть в «Support Menu» необходимо нажать «*» и удерживая ее, нажать клавишу «#».
2. Когда Вы отпустите обе клавиши, на дисплее появится запрос на ввод сервисного ключа: «Enter Special Key Combo». По умолчанию это «123».
3. После приёма пароля на дисплее будет показана версия прошивки. Нажимая правую или левую стрелочку, выберите пункт меню «System Configuration Menu». Нажмите «OK».
4. На дисплее должно появиться сообщение: «Hardware failure status». Если оно не появилось, то необходимо, прокрутить меню стелками до этого пункта. Нажмите «OK».
