four for 24PN, an even number for 30PN and
make sure that the seconds plus the frame
value makes an even number. The time code

Time code function during battery
replacement
Even during battery replacement the backup
mechanism keeps the time code generator functioning
for a considerable time (about one year).
<Note>
When the POWER switch has been switched ON → OFF
→ ON, the backup accuracy of the time code in free run
mode is about ±2 frames.
