Initializing the sewing data

・ Sewing data such as the bobbin thread counter and production counter settings are stored in a

memory which has a battery backup.

・If the power is not turned on for a long period of time (approximately three weeks or more), the

contents of the battery backup memory may become corrupted, causing the error code "E-160" to appear on the display when the machine is turned on. If this happens, initialize the sewing data by following the procedure below.

Initialized Check sewing data

main circuit board

1. Turn off the power switch.

2. Open the control box cover and set DIP switch No. 4 on the main circuit board to ON. (Refer to "8-2. Main circuit board DIP switch funtions" on page 68.)

Turn on the power. After approximately 2 seconds

have passed, "Initialized" will appear on the display.

Turn of f the power switch, set DIP switch No. 4 on the main circuit board to ”OFF”, and then close the

control box cover.
