In this unit, about 10 seconds after power is supplied to the battery terminal using the regulated power supply (8.4V), the power is shut off 
so that the unit cannot operate.
These following method is available to prevent this.

Use the AC power adaptor (AC-L200C/L200D).

When you replace to the repairing board, the written destination data of repairing board also might be changed to original setting.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “DESTINATON DATA WRITE”.
After the board replacement, the error of the built-in recording media may be displayed. in this case, execute the [DESTINATION DATA 
WRITE] then the error will be cleared. If it is not cleared with [DESTINATION DATA WRITE], format the built-in recording media. 

When you replace to the repairing board, get the data from the former one.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and perform “USB SERIAL SAVE” to get the data.

The set is shipped with a unique ID (USB Serial No.) written in it.
This ID has not been written in a new board for service, and therefore it must be entered after the board replacement.
Start the Adjust Manual in the Adjust Station and execute the “USB SERIAL No. INPUT”.

When you replace to the reparing board, write down the sensitivity displayed on the angular velocity sensor SE9201 (PITCH/YAW).
