*B and *P Diagnostic Flags

On very rare occasions a *B or *P may appear either during the recording process or mirroring process. Both
diagnostic flags continue to display until the unit is powered 'OFF'. If either of these diagnostic flags occurs, you
should contact Zaxcom's technical support department.
NOTE: The *B flag and *P flag appear in the Mirror Drive Status button.

*B Flag

The *B flag is a minor problem and means the Deva hit a breakpoint instruction. This happens when the Deva
comes across an error it does not know how to handle.

*P Flag

The *P flag is a serious problem and usually occurs if the FireWire drive is unplugged in the middle of an access. If
this flag is displayed, REBOOT IMMEDIATELY.
