When problems occur while the unit is operating, the self-diagnosis 
function starts working, and displays on the LCD screen what to do.
This function consists of two display; self-diagnosis display and service 
mode display.Details of the self-diagnosis functions are provided in the 
Instruction manual.

When problems occur while the unit is operating, the counter of the LCD 
screen shows a 4-digit display consisting of an alphabet and numbers,
which blinks at 3.2 Hz. This 5-character display indicates the “repaired 
by:”, “block” in which the problem occurred, and “detailed code”of the 
problem.

Turn the power on to open lens barrier. Disconnect the battery or power 

cord, and then connect again.

Confirm that the iris blades in lens are working.

If iris blades do not working, check the iris motor drive IC in lens drive 

block (CN4002 pin qj, qk on LD-279 board).

If iris blades work normally, confirm that they are closing completely 

and confirm following item.
･  Case of the iris blades do not close normally Replace the lens block).
･  Case of “E: 61: 30” is appeared and iris blades closed completely.

  Confirm that communication with lens block is normal.
･  Case of LCD is not displayed normally Check that connection between 

CN6702 on CM-123 board and CN4002 on VC-653 board by FP-1488 

flexible board.

･  Case of LCD is displayed normally Replace the lens block.
