•Replacement of CDX2671-204GA (IC801) used in this set requires a special tool.

•On the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, some adjusted values were set in the manual mode at the shipment, but these data will be cleared when the NV is reset. Therefore, on the set having the microcomputer version 1.000, change the adjusted values following the Change of Adjusted Values immediately after the NV was reset. (See page 18)

•If the nonvolatile memory was replaced on the set, the modified program data must be written to the nonvolatile memory. In such a case, write the modified data that meets the microcomputer version following the patch data rewriting procedure at the replacement of nonvolatile memory. (See page 23)
