6 Error Messages

Unit settings CRC error. Load default settings to restore to factory defaults. If the error 
message still persists then it could possibly be a non-volatile memory failure in which  
case the instrument will then have to be returned to the factory.

Internal flash CRC error. The instrument does a firmware check on the program when  
power is applied to the instrument . If the program is corrupt in any way then the internal 
flash CRC error will be displayed. Reload the instruments firmware and load default  
settings. If the error message still persists then it could possibly be an internal flash  
memory failure in which case the instrument will then have to be returned to the factory.

Hour meter / Service Timer CRC error. Try entering new values for the hour and service 
timer and see if the error message disappears. If the error message still  persists then it  
could possibly be a non-volatile memory failure in which case the instrument will then  
have to be returned to the factory.

Calibration   constants  CRC   error.  The   instrument   could   possibly  have   a   non-volatile  
memory failure in which case the instrument will then have to be returned to the factory.

Max Values CRC error. Load default settings to restore to factory defaults. If the error 
message still persists then it could possibly be a non-volatile memory failure in which  
case the instrument will then have to be returned to the factory.
