Other convenient functions (continued)

■Power failure compensation circuit

The unit is equipped with an internal power failure compensation circuit, and, after a full recharge of 48 or more hours, will preserve data and time settings for one month. Timer settings and menu settings will also be preserved. Time settings will not be precise, however, if the circuit has been unplugged for a long period of time. If this situation continues, it is recommended that current time settings are confirmed.

A maximum of 50 instances of power outage can be displayed.

■RESET button

The following conditions occur when the RESET button located on the unit’s back panel is pressed (using a ball- point pen or other object): the current time is erased, the system is reset, and main power is turned off. Recorded data and menu settings will not be erased.

■Simple lock function

When the LOCK button is pressed (with a ball-point pen, for example), the unit’s buttons, JOG dial, and SHUTTLE ring cannot be used, and the unit will remain fixed in its current settings. The Multiplexer button (refer to page 6), however, cannot be used with the LOCK function. Press the LOCK button to cancel this function. The LOCK indicator light will show when the unit is in Lock mode.

Once the password has been entered and the unit has been locked, the functions other than the camera switch will not operate unless the correct password is entered.
