4-4-2 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 fine-tipped pen to hold down the reset
button for several seconds).
