What firmware are you running?

There's a sticker on the back that tells you the firmware that was shipped with the unit. Can you post that?

To access the boot menu:
1. Power off your unit.
2. Using a straightened paper clip, press and hold the Reset button.
3. Press the Power button to power on the unit.
4. Continue to press the Reset button until the status display screen shows a boot menu message. (Then release the reset button)
5. Press the Backup button to scroll through boot mode options. The status display screen shows the current boot mode option.
6. When the status display screen shows the boot mode you need, press and release Reset button to confirm your boot menu selection.
The system boots in the selected boot mode.
