Flash Information Clear; Exit - Tascam DM-24 Service Manual

FLASH INFORMATION CLEAR

This procedure clears the area of SRAM where is recorded the
number of times the FLASH ROM has been written on.
CAUTION:
The FLASH ROM life is rated to 100,000 of write times, so the
information on how many times the FLASH ROM has been
written on is essential to being aware of its precise remaining
useable life.
This information is visible on the PREFERENCE sub-screen
under the OPTION screen.
Beware: Running the following procedure clears the information
about the number of times the FLASH ROM has been written
on. Also beware: The number of times you repeat the following
procedure is recorded on the SRAM. This record, however, is
NOT erased by SRAM INIT.
BE SURE TO RUN THIS PROCEDURE
WHEN THE FLASH ROM IS REPLACED,
AND NEVER RUN THIS PROCEDURE
EXCEPT IN THE CASE WHERE THE
FLASH ROM IS REPLACED.
1. When the DM-24 switches into the FLASH INROMATION
CLEAR mode, the following pop-up message will appear.
2. Press ENTER and the area of the SRAM where the number
of times the FLASH ROM has been written on is cleared and
the screen is switched to show the DIAG menu screen with a
check mark placed in the corrresponding box unless the pro-
cedure failed.
Pressing a cursor key cancels the procedure, bringing you
back to the DIAG menu screen.
The number shown next to the question mark ("?") indi-
cates how many times you have repeated this procedure
so far.

EXIT

This menu item is used to terminate the DIAG mode.
Upon terminating the DIAG mode, the DM-24 automatically
restarts and switches itself into normal mode.
