1. General description

This unit is equipped with history of error code memory function, and can be memorized 16 error codes in sequence from the                   
latest. When the error is occurred more than 16, the oldest error is overwritten in sequence.
The error code is not memorized when the power supply is shut down forcibly (i.e.,when the unit is powered on by the battery,
the battery is pulled out) The error code is memorized to FLASH ROM when the unit has just before powered off.

2. How to display

The error code can be displayed by ordering the following procedure:

• Preparation:

1. Attach the Battery or AC Adaptor with a DC coupler to the unit.
2. Set the mode dial to the PROGRAM AE mode.

*Since this unit has built-in memory, it can be performed without inserting SD memory card.

• Step 1. The temporary cancellation of "INITIAL SETTINGS":

Set the REC/PLAYBACK selector switch to "REC (Camera mark)".

While keep pressing "UP of Cursor button" and E. ZOOM button simultaneously, turn the Power on.

• Step 2. Execute the error code display mode:

Press the "LEFT of Cursor button", MENU/SET button and E. ZOOM button simultaneously.

The display is changed as shown below when the above buttons are pressed simultaneously.
Normal display 

→ Error code display → Operation history display → Normal display → .....

1) About "*" indication:
The third digit from the left is different as follows.
+.In case of 0 (example: 18 0 01000)
  When the third digit from the left shows "0", this error occurred under the condition of INITIAL SETTINGS has been completed.                 
  It means that this error is occurred basically at user side.

+.In case of 8 (example: 18 8 01000)
  When the third digit from the left shows "8", this error occurred under the condition of INITIAL SETTINGS has been released.                 
  (Example; Factory assembling-line before unit shipment, Service mode etc.)                 
  It means that this error is occurred at service side.

2) About "?" indication: ("18*0 0?01" to "18*0 0?50"):                 
 The third digit from the right shows one of the hexadecimal ("0" to "F") character.

4. How to exit from Error Code display mode:
Simply, turn the power off. (Since Error code display mode is executed under the condition of temporary cancellation of "INITIAL
SETTINGS", it wake up with normal condition when turn off the power.)

The error code can not be initialized.
