4-1. 4-2. 4-3. 4-4. CAUTION ON REPLACING FLASH MEMORY The BAD-BLOCK check* must be executed, when the flash memory in this set was replaced. The set will not operation normally, unless this check is finished. * The BAD-BLOCK check detects an area (bad-block) in the flash memory where data validity cannot be guaranteed, and saves this information in the TOC-AREA so that a bad-block is not used. BAD-BLOCK check Procedure: 1. Apply 1.5V from regulated power supply to the battery terminals. 2. Once the power is supplied, the check starts and then proceeds for approx. 20 seconds. (Be sure to keep applying the power during the check) 3. When the check completes, the result is shown as bellows. OK: Only the LCD back light LED (D503) turns on. NG: Red LED blinks or turns on or green LED turns on in the OPR LED (D504). 4. In case of OK, press the [STOP] button.
Note: � In case of NG, check system control IC (IC701), flash memory IC and the peripheral circuit. (Particularly, check carefully the soldering of the flash memory) � After finishing the BAD-BLOCK check, assemble the set, load the dry battery, and confirm if the set operates normally.
