“Firmware” refers to programs written into the flash
memory of the AP-3 at the factory. These programs
help the AP-3 operate.
New versions of these programs are sometimes created
to expand or improve the functions of the product. By
updating these programs, you can add functions and
keep the AP-3 operating at its peak potential.
Before updating the firmware, confirm which version you
are currently using by accessing the AP-3 setting screen.
The firmware version
number is displayed
in the setting screen
selection area (
