In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery
terminal using the regulated power supply (4.2V), the power is shut
off so that the unit cannot operate.
This following two methods are available to prevent this. Take note
of which to use during repairs.

Connect the servicing remote commander RM-95 (J-6082-053-B)
to the LANC jack, and set the commander switch to the “ADJ”
side.

Use the AC power adaptor (AC-VF10 or AC-VQ11) and connecting
cord (DK-115).

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis
function starts working, and displays on the viewfinder or LCD
screen what to do.
Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the Instruction
manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the
viewfinder or LCD screen consists of an alphabet and 4-digit
numbers, which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates
the “repaired by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and
“detailed code” of the problem.
