Bernina 640 Security Program Active
I get a red exclamation point inside a triangle, When I looked in the manual, this is message that corresponds to the sign. The notes on the manual only say diactivate if necessary. In addition the stitch lengh knob is not working. When the exclamation point square is pressed, it takes me to the stitch plate and needle screen. No matter what I choose as a stitch plate or needle, the warning message is still there. Any ideas?
