When the QV finds an error in the internal flash memory a Memory Error message appears on the built-in Displat LCD as shown below, MEMORY ERROR MEMORY ERROR CALL or # 1-3 TECH SUPPORT This memory error is caused by the following events: 1. The power is interrupted while the camera is recording an image. 2. The cable is disconnected while the camera is communicating with a computer. 3. Severe electrostatic charge, strong impact, severe change in temperature or humidity. 4. Hardware problems. The camera has no function to escape from the error message. If the memory error appears on the display, the camera will locked-up and will not accept any operation except power on/off. 2. Requirements for Data Restoring: 1. Computer 2. QV support utility disk with: Restoring utility: AMED.EXE Color Adjustment utility: ADJ4.EXE 3. Cable and adapter for LK-1 connection kit. 4. AC adapter for QV: AD-K64 or AD-K65. 3. Preparing your computer: 1. Required software: Microsoft MS-DOS Ver. 3.1 or later. 2. Required hardware: IBM PC/AT or compatible with 386SX CPU or higher. 4 MB RAM minimum (8 MB recommended). 10 MB available hard disk space. 3.5" 1.44 MB disk drive. RS-232C serial port (D-Sub 9-pin). VGA monitor. 4. Installing QV support utilities: 1. Create a directory for the QV support utilities on drive C:>. For example: MD QV11UTIL 2. Change from the current directory to the new directory. For example: CD\QV11UTIL 3. Copy the QV support utility file QV11UTIL.EXE into the new directory. For example: COPY A:\QV11UTIL.EXE C:\QV11UTIL 4. Explode the self-extracting file QV11UTIL. For example: Type "QV11UTIL" at the prompt and press enter. 5. Remove the QV support utilities disk from drive A. 5. Connecting QV to your computer: NOTE: Use an AC adapter AD-K64 or AD-K65 for the power source of the QV. Weak batteries may cause a failure of the data restoring. In the worst case, all images might be lost. 1. If your computer is on, turn off the power. 2. If the camera is on, turn off the power. 3. Connect the 25-pin plug of the cable into the adapter. 4. Connect the 9-pin plug of the adapter into your computer's serial port. (COM1 ) 5. Connect the mini jack of the cable into the camera's DIGITAL terminal. 6. Connect an AC adapter to the camera. 6. Restoring Images stored in QV at Memory Error: 1. Change to the directory where the utility AMED.EXE exists. 2. Type "AMED -PIR" and press Enter. The utility loads the images onto the hard disk and restores the images on the computer. After restoring, the utility clears all original images in the camera and copies the restored images into the camera. NOTE: 1. The utility automatically creates files of the restored images in the current directory, IMAGE001 .CAM, IMAGE002.CAM, IMAGE003, so on. If old image files IMAGE???.CAM exist, they are replaced with new ones. So please move the old image files to another directory or rename the files. 2. To see the usage of the utility AMED, type "AMED". The usage will be displayed. 3. In case of "Time Out Error", select the suitable com port or change slower bit rate, then retry. What to do if the data restoring is incomplete: 1. Make sure that all connections between the QV and your computer are secure. 2. Select slower bit rate then retry. If the data restoring is still incomplete, then the camera could be a defect. Replace the digital PCB in the camera. 7. After replacing digital PCB: First copy the backup file on the hard disk into the camera. 1. Change to the directory where the utility FLASH.EXE and the backup file exist. 2. Type "FLASH -L Filename" and press Enter. In this example, type "FLASH -L BACKUP". This utility copies the original images on the hard disk into the camera. The message on the camera's monitor will change "MEMORY EMPTY" to "MEMORY ERROR". Restore the images stored in QV at memory error. 3. Change to the directory where the utility AMED.EXE exists. 4. Type "AMED -PIR" and press Enter. 8. Color Adjustment: Color adjustment should be done: 1. After replacing the digital PCB ass'y. 2. After replacing the camera's case unit. COLOR ADJUSTMENT - COLOR ADJUSTMENT - COLOR ADJUSTMENT - COLOR ADJUSTMENT Color adjustment should be done after replacing the digital PCB ass'y. Because the PCB has correction data of CCD color characteristics in the flash memory. Also, the PCB adjusts the vividness of the hues using the data. Color adjustment utility examines for CCD color characteristics of the camera. Then the utility generates correction data and stores the data into the flash memory. Note: If color adjustment is not done after the following: 1. After replacing the digital PCB ass'y. 2. After replacing the camera case unit. The camera records images without fidelity in color. In the worst case, there will be any correction data in the flash memory. The camera will displays a monochrome image in the record mode and will also record strange images. 1 Requirements for Data Restoring: 1. Computer IBM PC/AT or compatible 2. QV support utility disk Color adjustment utility: ADJ4.EXE 3. Light source (Color temperature 5000K) 4. Color filter (Color temperature 4350K) 5. Cable and Adapter for LK-1 connection kit 6. AC adapter for QV (AD-K64 or AD-K65) The light source (PN 00000000) and color filter (PN 00000000) are available in our parts center. 2. Preparing your computer: Refer to "Data Restoring". 3. Installing QV support utilities: Refer to "Data Restoring". 4. Connecting QV to your computer: Refer to "Data Restoring". 5. Color adjustment: 1. Put the color filter over the screen on the light source, and turn on the light source. 2. Set the aperture switch to F8 (black filled in circle) position, and turn on the camera. 3. Put the camera with its lens toward the light source. 4. Turn on your computer. 5. Change to the directory where the utility ADJ4.EXE exists. 6. Type "ADJ4" and press Enter. The message "WAIT" appears on the monitor of the camera. Some parameters appear on the screen of your computer, then the utility will finish.
