The FP-7F uses a liquid crystal screen; if the temperature is below zero degrees centigrade, characters
might not appear in the screen. This does not indicate a malfunction.
These occur due to the nature of a liquid crystal display, and do not indicate a malfunction.
By adjusting the screen contrast you can make these artifacts less noticeable.

Insert the plug all the way into the pedal jack.
Could you be using a pedal made by another manufacturer?

Switch off the FP-7F's power before you connect or disconnect the pedal cord.

other function, the pedal won't operate as a Soft pedal or Sostenuto pedal.
