down and observe the TBAR readings from 1 to 4095. Turn the knob to end the keyboard test. If a PROM
FAILED! message appears, the program PROM needs replacement. The unused stack space (MEM FREE:) is

INITIALIZE UNIT
DO NOT USE THIS MENU ITEM LIGHTLY! This menu item clears all PERSONALITY REGS which is not
recommended unless you really mean to clear them. This can be done without erasing personality data by
using the COLD BOOT function (see COLD BOOT).
COLD BOOT
In rare instances, especially during heavy ESD (electrostatic discharge) events like lightning storms or dry weather
in carpeted environments, panel memory can become corrupted. This can cause random symptoms including
garbage (random characters) displayed in menu settings, strange slow motion speeds, other settings that are out of
normal range, and/or complete failure of communication with connected channels. There are hardware circuits in
the panel designed to avoid errant RAM writes whenever power is below a certain voltage level, but there is no way
to completely protect against ESD induced problems.
A COLD BOOT restores all system memory to the factory default condition except the personality registers. It also
erases all cue points and playlists.
To perform a COLD BOOT: Disconnect the RJ45 cable from the main panel, and hold down the MARK and PLAY
keys while reconnecting. Continue holding the keys until you see characters on the displays.
If you had stored a personality register, it can be recalled after the COLD BOOT to bring the panel back to the way
you like it. If you save personality after the panel is already corrupted, it may contain corrupted data and still cause
problems. If personality data itself is corrupted, a stored register will appear as “default”, so if the name you saved
appears, you can trust that register (see PERSONALITY MENU ITEMS).
