BACKUP BATTERY
EMPTY
This appears
when
the
internal
clock battery
has
run
down.
Replace
the
unit's
back-up
battery.
For
the
replacement procedure,
refer to
page
58,
and
consult with your
dealer.
Remarks:
A
flat
back-up
battery
will
interfere with the clock
and
time code
free run functions although
all
other
functions
will
remain
unaffected.
Replace
the
back-up
battery at the earliest possible
opportunity.
The
BACKUP BATTERY EMPTY
display
will
appear even
when
the
power
is
turned back on
immediately
after
the back-up
battery
was
replaced.
This
is
normal and
not indicative of a
malfunction.
FLASH
MEMORY
EMPTY
This appears
when
garbage
data
in
the
built-in
flash
memory
needs
to
be
collected.
A
special
memory
called
a
flash
memory
is
used
inside this
unit.
It
contains
all
the
menu
settings,
white balance adjustment data
and
many
other
types
of data.
Due
to the
fact that this
is
a
special
memory,
the
old
data
no
longer
required
when menu
changes
are
made,
for instance,
are
retained.
Consequently, garbage
memory
contents such as these must be
collected
from
time
to time.
Proceed
with
garbage
collection
on
the
MAINTENANCE
menu
screen
among
the
menu
items. Refer
to
the
menu
items (on
pages
48,
49 and
55).
Remarks:
This
display
appears
well
ahead
of
time so there
is
no need
to
panic
and
initiate
garbage
collection
immediately.
The
garbage
collection
processing takes
some
time (about
1
minute)
so
it
should be
done
when
there
is
a spare
moment.
