To resolve the NVRAM FLT issue on the Rockford Systems SSC-1000:

1. The nonvolatile (NV) RAM memory may be faulty and cannot be reset to factory default.
2. The battery socket or RAM chip may be inoperative and may need repair or reprogramming.
3. If the issue persists, consult the factory for assistance.

Access to the interface may not be possible until the NVRAM issue is fixed.
