ZS400 startup is performed with the retentive data of markers, counters,
timers, data buffers and fixings.
The ranges defined as nonretentive in OM2 are deleted before ZS400
startup.
. A buffer battery is required in the power supply module for retention
mode.

When restarting the ZS400 from stop mode or cold starting after switching
on the power supply module, all markers, counters, timers, fixings and data
buffers are deleted.
