A MEMORY TEST message displays
and the screen fills with dots as the inter-
nal memory is tested.
✓ The Memory Test may take several
minutes to complete.
If no problems were detected, then a
MEMORY TEST PASSED! message
displays on the screen. If a problem was
detected, then a MEMORY TEST
FAILED! message and the software
identification (SW ID) display on the
screen.
