Updating CTRL.1 for compatibility with RT Manager

The latest 1.16 update for CTRL.1 adds support for a PC Mode to allow it to connect with RT Manager for future updates. Until now, the older RTFW application had to be used for all CTRL.1 updates.

Before your CTRL.1 can talk to RT Manager, you'll need to do one last update using RTFW. Follow these steps to update your CTRL.1 and allow it to connect to RT Manager for future updates and lens map transfers.
