3. TO REPLACE THE BATTERY A) To replace the main batteries Before replacing the main batteries, note the following precautions. • Do not remove the back-up battery from the SF Unit while main batteries are removed. • Be sure to replace both batteries at the same time, and do not use an old battery with a new one.
4. ERROR MESSAGE Message Meaning Action DATA ITEM NOT Text specified for Correct or change FOUND! search does not exist. specified text. PASSWORD Wrong password Enter correct MISMATCH! entered. password. MEMORY FULL! No more room in Delete unnecessary memory for storage of data items from data.
Character input: CAPS 6. TO SAVE THE DATA TO OTHER MACHINE SF-8500 can transfer customers data to other SF-8500 with memory protection only when replacing the LCD or the outer case. How to transfer the data. * Before connecting the cable (SB-60 or SB-62), be sure to reset the slave machine to clear all data.

2) To open battery cover and back cover 1. Release the one screw of battery cover and remove the battery cover. 2. Remove the batteries. (Refer section 3 in this manual.) 3. Release the 8 screws of the back cover. Then, remove the back cover. 4.
10-2. Power supply circuit Power supply circuit for CPU, GATE ARRAY, CG ROM and RAMs. When the memory back-up battery or main batteries are set, the voltage supplies at the terminal VDD1 (Pin No.1) of SC371015FU (LSI2) through the diode MA743 (D1). When LSI2 receives a voltage, the regulated voltage VDD (4.3V~4.7V) will be applied to the VDD lines from the terminal VO1 (Pin No.2).
Page 18
When the voltage from the main batteries becomes +3.7V ±0.1V, the terminal VCOMP0 (Pin No.5) of the power supply chip (LSI2) becomes "L" level, then this signal goes to the terminal PDN (Pin No.28) of the GATE ARRAY (LSI3). After this, the terminal VOT (Pin No.32) of GATE ARRAY (LSI3) become "L"...

Power supply chip SC371015FU The IC SC371015FU is power supply chip for SF-8500. When IC SC371015FU receives a Volt- age 5V from main power supply circuit at the ter- minal VDD1(Pin No.2), the regulated voltage VDD (4.3~4.7V) will be applied to the VDD lines.
