A MEMORY TEST message displays and the screen fills with dots as the internal 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.
Press the ENTER key to return to the Tool Self-Test menu.
