Error messages
When erroneous operations are performed messages and advice on operation will be displayed on the LCD. Follow what is
displayed. The error message will disappear if an operation button is pressed or the correct operation is performed while the error
message is displayed.
Operation beeps
If a correct operation is performed, the machine beeps one time.
If an incorrect operation is performed, the machine beeps two or four times.
If the machine locks up, for example, because the thread is tangled, the machine continues to beep for seven seconds, and then
the machine automatically stops. Be sure to check for the cause of the error, and correct it before continuing to sew.
