• If you enter a wrong mode by mistake, immediately exit the mode by pressing the MENU/NO button.
• The test groups with a (×) mark in the Mark column are not described in detail because these test groups are not used for servicing. If you
enter one of these groups by mistake, immediately exit the mode by pressing the MENU/NO button.
Be very careful not to enter any test groups with an exclamation mark (!) in the Mark column because the non-volatile memory can be
written in these test groups and the HCD-MD555 will not work correctly.
