Diagnostics and Troubleshooting 

WARNING: Unauthorized service will automatically void the warranty on the product(s). Contact UTC RETAIL 
Technical Support at 1.800.349.0546 or (585) 924.9500 if you have any questions. 

Error Messages and Symptoms 

During the power-on self test (POST), the BIOS either sounds a beep code or displays a message when it detects a 
correctable error. Additional messages and symptoms are specific to the operating system, application, and/or 
connected peripherals for that system. 

Error Message  

Explanation 

BIOS ROM checksum error – System halted 

The BIOS code may have become corrupt. Contact UTC RETAIL Technical 
Support. 

CMOS battery failed 

CMOS battery is no longer functional.  Contact UTC RETAIL Technical 
Support. 

CMOS checksum error – Defaults loaded 

Checksum of CMOS is incorrect, so the system has loaded the default 
equipment configuration.  May indicate that CMOS has become corrupt.  A 
weak battery may have caused this error.  

Contact UTC RETAIL Technical Support. 

Hard disk(s) diagnosis fail 

The system may run specific disk diagnostic routines. This message appears 
if the hard drive returns an error when the diagnostics run.  

Contact UTC RETAIL Technical Support. 

Override enabled  - Defaults loaded 

If the system cannot boot using the current CMOS configuration, the BIOS 
can override the current configuration with a set of BIOS defaults designed for 
the most stable, minimal-performance system operations.  

Contact UTC RETAIL Technical Support for BIOS settings. 

Symptom 

Troubleshooting 

Touch screen accuracy is off 

Recalibrate the touch screen using the calibration utility.  

Touch screen will not work 

Ensure that the touch screen driver is properly installed.  Ensure that the 
touch screen is assigned to COM2.   

If touch screen still is not operational, contact UTC RETAIL Technical 
Support.
