The indicator may flash or light only for
five seconds depending on the alarm.
You can check alarms generated by this unit, using
the alarm log of the utility software (see page 44).
If the indicator is flashing four times a second, and
it is not possible to check the alarm log, a
malfunction may have occurred. In this case, contact
your Sony service representative.
When the error is eliminated, the indicator
goes off.
