Technical Explanation > MEAP > Troubleshooting > MEAP Safe Mode
● After recovery from quick startup, MEAP applications do not work
properly.
Some MEAP applications do not process a task at a specified time after quick startup.
In this case, the application executes the task at an unintended timing because the elapsed
time during standby for quick startup is not counted.
Problems may occur in the following two cases.
In the case of "Schedule: Execute the task every 24 hours"
A schedule is set to start the specified task at the specified time and repeat "fixed-delay
execution".
If execution is delayed for some reason, the delay time is ignored.
Problem:The task is executed when the total time excluding the standby for quick startup
has reached 24 hours.
=> The task may be executed at a timing other than the time the user expects it to be
executed.

In the case of "Schedule: Execute the task at 00:00 every day"
A schedule is set to start the specified task at the specified time and repeat "fixed-rate
execution".
If execution was delayed for some reason, two or more tasks are continuously executed to
"make up for the delay".
Problem: The tasks of Jan. 1, Jan. 2, and Jan. 3 are executed after quick startup.

■ MEAP Safe Mode

● Outline
Use safe mode if you need to start up the system without worrying about extra applications. It
will start up only those system software files (including SMS) that normally start up as default
files while preventing MEAP applications and the like from starting up.
When you have made changes and restart the device, the control panel will indicate "MPSF"
in its lower right corner. The MEAP applications that may have been active before you shut
down the equipment will not start up on their own. Make use of safe mode when restoring
the system software as when MEAP applications or services cause a fault as the result of a
conflict or wrong sequence of registration/use. You can access to SMS in this condition so
that you can take necessary measures, for example, you can stop application that may cause
the trouble.
CAUTION:
If the device has been started in MEAP SAFE mode, all the MEAP applications stop
and the status becomes "Installed".
This status remains unchanged even if the MEAP SAFE mode is canceled and the
device is started again in normal mode. It is therefore necessary to access SMS after
normal startup and start the MEAP application.
