Q&A

I upgraded my SV4401A to firmware V0.3.1, but I found that the UDisk function doesn't work with my Mac.
The UDisk function isn't supported for macOS when in upgrade mode. To enter UDisk mode, there are two options: [from the device]either select it from the menu on the main screen or press and hold the Ctrl key while powering on the device to enter upgrade mode.

By mistake i deleted my font file and my VNA couldn't boot, what should i do?
You just need to hook up SV4401A to computer(with the USB cable) with U-disk mode enabled, put the copy of the 'Alibaba-PuHuiTi-Medium.ttf' font file back to the system folder in the device. It should be loaded the next time you reboot the device.
