Dimensional drawing 9 - Specifications : Dimensional drawing 371 mm (14.6") 87 mm (3.4") 240 mm (9.5") 14 mm (0.6") 40˚ 273 mm (10.75") 824 mm (32.4") 22 mm (0.9") 933 mm (36.7") Figure 9.1: Dimensional drawing (including optional MU-1000 meter bridge) Messages and troubleshooting This provides an alphabetical list of the messages that you may see on the DM-4800, which provide information on the operation that you are performing. Not all of these messages are error messages. "Information" messages, i.e. those which pop up briefly and provide information about a change in status, etc., are marked with a ●. "Confirm" messages, where a response may be necessary (usually confirm with the ENTER key or cancel with the cursor keys) are marked with a ✔. Messages demanding action other than a simple confirmation are shown with a (✖), but even these do not necessarily indicate an error. Action ● ✔ ✔ ✖ ✖ Message Meaning Already assigned. Are you sure to delete this project ? Press ENTER to confirm, or a cursor key to cancel. Automation Bank Memory is full. Check the Bank memory. Press ENTER to continue. Automation data and Current Status have different timecode types. Press ENTER to continue. Automation data and Current Status use different Fs. Press ENTER to continue. The RECORD key has already been assigned to a remote unit. Confirmation when deleting a project. An attempt is being made to store automation data to a memory bank that is already full. The automation data uses a timecode of a different frame type from the current timecode. The automation data uses a sampling frequency of a different value from the current sampling frequency.
