* If an error occurs, it is stored in the built-in memory's error log. The error log file ("M5.err") may be needed if the
error cannot be resolved. Please save this file.
* If the problem persists after all the above has been checked, contact your nearby PLUS Vision sales office,
dealer, or store.
• Check that the AC power adapter's cord is connected to the DC input jack and
to a wall outlet.
• Are you using a marker other than one specifically designated for use with
this copyboard?
(Apply some water or neutral detergent to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly,
then wipe the sheet carefully and gently.)
• It may not be possible to read letters or lines if the letters are patchy or the
lines are thin.
• Depending on the operating environment, the picture quality may not be stable
directly after the fluorescent lamp is lit. Wait about 5 minutes after turning on
the fluorescent lamp then try to store the image data again.
• Adjust the density using the M-5 setup utility.
• Try performing the quick calibration. (See USER'S MANUAL CD-ROM Edition)

error or an error with the internal memory (data cannot be stored or deleted).
Contact your nearby PLUS Vision sales office, dealer, or store.
