INTRODUCTION
This section is divided into two portions. The first discusses
the various error messages that may appear on the ter-
minal's screen while you are attempting to perform opera-
tions through the keyboard. The second discusses the
various types of self-tests that are incorporated into the
HP
2624A.
ERROR MESSAGES
When the terminal detects a parameter inconsistency or
error condition, it locks the keyboard and displays an ap-
propriate error message across the bottom of the screen
(replacing the function key labels). Press _
to unlock the
keyboard, clear the message, and reinstate the current
function key labels.
The various possible error messages and their general
meaning are as follows:
Default configsused
Press RETURN to cl ear
This message is displayed when the terminal attempts
to read the content of non-volatile memory but detects
a CRC error (e.g., at power-on time, during a hard
reset, or when the
"POWER ON VALUES"
function key is
pressed).
To determine whether the problem is a bad battery or a
bad RAM chip, run the Terminal Test described later
in this section. If the RAM chip used for non-volatile
memory is bad, the Terminal Test will fail and
generate an appropriate"
CMOS RAM"
message identify-
ing the faulty chip. If the test passes, then the
"Defaul
t
conf ig!l u!!ed"
power-on message indicates
that the battery needs to be changed. Instructions on
how to change the battery are provided in Section X,
"Terminal Maintenance Procedures."
After clearing the message (by pressing
a),
you
may then reconfigure the terminal as you desire.
