Important Information
This section contains important safety and warranty information. Please make sure you have
read this information before starting up your Actilino.
The Braille device's driving circuitry uses a high voltage of 200 V for the operation of the
Braille modules. Danger of electric shock exists when the housing is opened or the device
is handled improperly.
11.1 Start-Up Procedures
After you turn on your Actilino, the device executes tests of several of its components. This
section contains a description of each of these tests. If you receive any error messages upon
turning on the unit, you will find help in understanding these messages in this section.
If you encounter problems, please make sure you review chapter 11.1.2.
11.1.1 Self-check of the File System
The self-check of the file system searches the entire serial flash memory. During this test,
every file is tested for completeness, whether the data are stored correctly and whether any
two files point to the same sector (concatenation). Also, the two system sectors are checked
for their contents.
This test can conclude with three different results which have varying consequences, as
follows:
1. No error was found during the test: No measures need be taken.
2. An error not affecting the entire file system was detected: The system issues a warning
message.
3. A fatal error was detected: It is necessary to reformat the entire flash disk.
In the case of a warning, the Actilino will output the following message on the display:
'WRN
when initializing file system, Backup recommended!'
.
As soon as this message has been confirmed by pressing [TLC], a message appears
showing the version number of the file system, the identification number of the error that
was detected and a description of the error. The display will read as follows:
'FsVersion x.y,
ERR: n: t'
where x.y is the version of the file system, n the number of the detected error and
the description of the error.
If a fatal error has occurred, your Actilino will display the following: '
FER in file system:
Flash disk must be formatted.'
Again, this message is followed by the display of the
version number of the file system, the identification number of the error and the error
description.
Once this information has been confirmed, the Actilino will begin reformatting the flash disk.
After reformatting, the unit will restart automatically and you must reload the contents of the
folder “HTSYS”.
