4

  using following equations (decimal

caluculation). (0   D

Example: If D

2

 = 12345 and D

3

 = 12288,

D

4

 = 12345 – 12288 = 57

9) Convert D

4

 into a hexadecimal number to obtain H

4

. (See Table

6-4-1 “Hexadecimal - decimal conversion table” in 6-4. Ser-
vice Mode)
Example: If D

4

 = 57,

H

4

 = 39

10) Enter higher two digits of H

3

 to address: 0A on page: 13.

Example: If H

3

 = 3000,

Select page: 0, address: 10, and set data: 01.
Select page: 3 (13), address: 0A, and set data: 30, then press
the PAUSE (Write) button.

11) Enter H

4

 to address: 0B on page: 13.

Example: If H

4

 = 39,

Select page: 0, address: 10, and set data: 01.
Select page: 3 (13), address: 0B, and set data: 39, then press
the PAUSE (Write) button.

12) Select page: 0, address: 10, and set data: 00.
13) Select page: 3, address: 70, and set data: 10, then press the

PAUSE (Write) button.

14) Select page: 3, address: 70, and check that the data changes to

“11”.

15) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 00.

If the EEPROM data is erased due to some reason, perform “1-2.
INITIALIZATION OF EEPROM DATA ”, of “6-1. CAMERA
SECTION ADJUSTMENTS”

Perform “2-2. Input of Serial No.” if the data on page 13
has been cleared and original node unique ID No. is un-
certain.
Usually, read the data on page 13 before repair, and write
it after repair.

If reading/writing data on pages 13, set data: 01 to page:
0, address: 10, and then select pages: 3. By this data set-
ting, the pages 13 can be selected.
After the data reading/writing finished, return the data
on page: 0, address: 10 to “00”.

Write the company ID to the EEPROM (nonvolatile memory).

8) Select page: 0, address: 01, and set data: 00.

Write the serial No. and model code to the EEPROM (nonvolatile
memory).
In writing the serial No., a decimal number should be converted
into a hexadecimal number.

.

Example: If serial No. is “77881”,

D

1

 = 77881

4) From Table 6-3-2, obtain D
