!
ATTENTION: DO NOT begin downloading messages while the
DL5 is displaying ”Memory Lost”. This warning message will
appear after the messages have been deleted (from the terminal
mode) until the DL5 has completed the erasing operation.
Note the warning message. Make sure that the selected messages are
compatible with the DL5 connected to the computer:
1. Do not download messages that are created for a two-line display, to a
one-line display and vice versa.
2. Do not download messages created for a DL5 which has more memory
than the DL5 receiving the messages. For example; don’t download
messages created for a DL5 with 2K memory (94 message blocks) to a
DL5 with 0.5K of memory (21 message blocks). All of the messages may
not fit.
If you want to clear memory in the DL5 and download all of the messages
for the DL5 name, simply press [ENTER] at this point. The software will
automatically clear memory in the DL5 and download all messages.
If Message #0 (DL5 input port and Special Function settings) does not exist,
the software will not download the messages. Create Message #0 with
Option 3, Edit or Create DL5 Messages. Then simply answer the questions.
See the DL5 User Manual for more details on these settings.
