How to Update the Firmware

1. Attach a compatible SD card to your computer or a card reader attached to your computer.

SD CARD CONSIDERATIONS

  • Your SD card must be 16 GB or smaller
  • Formatted as FAT or FAT32 for Windows, MS-DOS (FAT)  for macOS (if partitioned, select the MBR Master Boot Record option under Scheme)

2. Visit smallhd.com/pages/software and download the latest firmware.

3. Click the .zip download file to extract the .bin (firmware file), then drag and drop the .bin file onto your SD card.
4. Remove SD Card, insert it into your SmallHD monitor, then turn on the monitor.
5. Swipe/toggle left, or tap the screen to access the monitor’s Settings Menu.

6. Scroll down and tap the FIRMWARE tab.
7. Tap the available firmware.

8. Tap the START UPDATE tab to begin the update process.

9. Once the firmware is installed, you will be prompted to reboot your monitor. Hold the power button for at least 5 seconds, then release it.

10. Press the power button again to begin operating your SmallHD monitor with the new firmware installed.

CAUTION: Make sure you do not lose power during firmware update

Factory Reset Settings

Go to this section to reset the monitor’s pages & settings to how it was when it came out of the box.

Execute Factory Reset

Select this option to reset the monitor to its factory default settings.

A default factory reset will reset all settings in the menus and pages data.  It will keep the firmware, calibration file and registration information. You can reset these also, if you select the appropriate box.

Factory Reset is useful when swapping between different users or when encountering issues that may be a result of fiddling around with unfamiliar settings of if there has been a lot of issues.  Reloading the firmware, or updating to the lasted stable version are also ways to troubleshoot issues. ;-)
