Power Supply

• Use only the special HR-3UA rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries to power this camera. Use of any other type of battery is not supported.

• This camera does not have separate batteries for the clock. The date and time settings of the camera are cleared whenever power is totally cut off (from both the batteries and AC adaptor). Be sure to reconfigure these settings after power is interrupted.

LCD Panel

• The LCD panel is a product of the latest LCD manufacturing technology that provides a pixel yield of 99.99%. This means that less than 0.01% of the total pixels are defective (they do not turn on or always remain turned on).

Lens

• You may sometimes notice some distortion in certain types of images, such as a slight bend in lines that should be straight. This is due to the characteristics of lens, and does not indicate malfunction of the camera.

PROGRAM VERSION UPGRADING

■ Introduction Update the program using an SD card.

Note: Make sure to use a fully charged battery.

MAIN PCB becomes unusable if power down or an error occurs during program transmission.

1. How to confirm the program version

■ The program version can be confirmed in the test menu (refer to the previous page).

■ Turn the power on while pressing MENU button.

The following program version can be found. Check the LCD display.

2. How to update the firmware

1. Prepare the memory card which contains the software for upgrading QV-R40 firmware in the root directory . firmware: QV-40.bin The firmware is included in the service CD-ROM. The location is as follows: QV/Soft/Adj-soft/Qvr40/FirmUP

2. Insert the above memory card in the camera and then set a fully charged battery in the camera.

3. While pressing MENU, press power switch. Keep pressing MENU until “PROGRAM UPDATE” appears in the camera LCD.

• The following appears.

• The version for the firmware update software in the memory card appears at the bottom.

PROGRAM UPDATE

YES NO NEW VERSION IS

(Example)

VER 1.00

(As of August. 2003)

Note: This does not appear when the battery is low.

Make sure to charge the battery fully.

4. Align the white cursor to “YES” by the cross key of G and H, and press SET of the center of the cross key.

• “NOW LOADING” appears in the LCD and the update starts.

5. “COMPLETE” appears after the update finishes.

6. Remove the memory card after turning the power off once. Turn the power back on again while pressing MENU, and check the version.

VER 1.00

(As of August. 2003)

7. If the version is correct, turn the power off.

8. Finally, check the operation by recording, playing back and deleting an image.

3. How to restore the firmware

1. Prepare the following firmware restoration program and change its name as follows; kx864r030708.hbn  mercury.bin The program is included in the service CD-ROM. Location: QV/Soft/Adj-soft/Qvr40/Recover

2. Copy the above file to the root directory in the memory card.

3. Insert the memory card into the camera.

4. Set a fully charged battery in the camera.

5. Turn the power on while pressing the shutter release button. The LED next to the optical finder changes from green/red blinks  green blinks  green lights.

6. When the green LED lights, the firmware restoration is finished. Remove the battery.

7. Turn the power on again while pressing MENU and DISP buttons. The firmware is successfully restored if the following version appears. PR: 03.07.08.11.35

8. Finally, start the camera normally to check the operation by recording, playing back and deleting an image.

4. How to install the firmware

Initially, firmware is not installed in the PCB supplied from the parts center. Install the firmware into PCB after replacing one as shown in the procedures below. NOTE: The camera does not turn on (only LED lights green) if the firmware is not installed in the PCB.

1. Copy the following software to the root directly of the SD card. kx864r030708.hbn QV-R40.bin

2. Change the name “kx864r030708.hbn” to “mercury.bin”.

3. Insert the SD card into the camera.

4. While pressing the shutter release button, insert the batteries. The LED next to the optical finder changes from “green/red blink” -> “green blinks” -> “green lights”.

5. After the LED lights green, turn the power off and remove the batteries.

1. Boot the test mode.

2. Press the [>] button twice and then press [MENU].

3. Select “7 : ROM UPDATE” and then press [SET].

4. Select “5 : SYSTEMINITIALIZE” and then press [SET].

5. When the following message appears, press [SET]. SYSTEMINITIALIZE START…. PUSH OK KEY?

6. The system initialize is performed and the following error message appears. “SYSTEM ERROR”

7. Turn the power off.

1. While pressing [MENU], turn the power on.

2. When “PROGRAM UPDATE” appears, select “YES” and then press [SET].

3. “NOWLOADING” appears while the firmware is updated.
