  If you encounter a 'System Error' message with a color bar background, it could be due to the camera head temporarily shutting down because of overcurrent. Try turning off the console, waiting three seconds, and then turning it back on. Also, after sterilization, make sure the camera head has cooled down before you connect it to the console.
