incorrectly, an error message appears in the stitch indicator. Follow the instructions that appear.
If you press

message disappears.

Each time a key is pressed or an incorrect operation 
is performed, a beep is sounded.

■

For a correct operation

One beep is sounded.

■

If an incorrect operation is performed

The sewing machine continues to beep for four 
seconds. The machine automatically stops. Be 
sure to check for the cause of the error, and 
correct it before continuing to sew.
