6 Service Mode 6.1. Error Code Memory Function 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.
Page 21
Error Code List The error code consists of 8 bits data and it shows the following information.
Page 22
Important notice about “Error Code List” 1) About “*” indication: The third digit from the left is different as follows. - In case of 0 (example: 18001000) When the third digit from the left shows “0”, this error occurred under the condition of Initial Settings has been completed.
