  If a restore operation is interrupted due to power failure on the HMI device, the operating 
system of the HMI device may be deleted. In this case, you need to update the operating 
system as described in "
Updating the operating system using ProSave (Page 196)". 
  If a message is output on the HMI device warning of a compatibility conflict during the 
restore operation, the operating system must be updated. 
●  The HMI device is connected to a PC on which ProSave is installed. 
●  The data channel for the HMI device is configured.
