Troubleshooting

NOTE
• If this Recorder receives strong interference from strong external noise such as excessive static electricity, malfunction of
power supply voltage caused by lightning during Recorder use or a wrong operation is sent to the Recorder, errors like the
Recorder not accepting an operation may occur.
• Press RESET with a toothpick or other narrow rod-like object (nonmetal) when the Recorder does not operate properly
even after the power has been turned off and then back on again.
• Since the clock, channel, timer recording programs and other data in memory are also reset when RESET has been
pressed, they must be set again.
• EZ Set Up function starts automatically when RESET is pressed.
• When the problem persists even after pressing RESET, unplug the power
cord and plug it again. If this does not solve the problem, contact the
nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center. RESET button
