* When downloading the MDARS installer, Chrome may block the download and give you an error message that says “This file is deceptive and may make unexpected changes to your device”. This is very common and it is nothing to worry about. To work around this, do the following:
In Chrome, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Security, and under Safe Browsing, choose No Protection and re-download the installer. After the download is complete, you can change the Safe Browsing settings.
If you require any assistance or have any questions, please submit a ticket with Tech Ops.
SmartPro: REMINDER
Regularly updating your SmartPro is the most critical step in maintaining your device. You should update individual modules every other day and perform a full software update once a week, at minimum.
