4-3-2 Details of error code display
Up to eight error codes of problems can be displayed
with the dates/times when the problems occurred.
If the same problem occurs repeatedly, it will be
judged as one problem, and the same error code will
not continue to appear.
If more than eight problems occur, the error codes
will be erased beginning with the oldest problem,
and the code for the newest problem will be recorded.
If no error code is recorded, the line for error code
and problem occurrence date/time will be all zero (0).
Information:
To erase all error codes and reset to the default
status, perform system reset (remove the battery and
AC adapter/charger, and use a fi ne-tipped pen to hold
down the reset button for several seconds).
