Autostar 497 Error Code Help

Hello Everyone.

I was doing a two star alignment on my LDX75 last night when suddenly the hand controller went dead. I noticed that when I jiggled the cord it came back to life, however it yielded a “Proc Trap 2” error code. I did swap out the cord, so this should not be a problem going forward.

After trying to reset the controller and doing some research on the net I see this is a common occurrence. My understanding to fix this is to reload the next revision of software into the hand controller. It still has the original version, and not the latest.

Let me know if this is the case and anything that I might specifically need to do.

Thanks for all you help!

Joe.

All,

This is a follow-up to let you know that after updating the OS the error went away! The Autostar is ready for action!
