Error A or ErrA in BC-601 or BC-545N means that there is a problem with the age setting in the profile, and usually this is the result of an incorrect current date or time setting of the device.

For example, after replacing the batteries, the device defaults to a certain date and time (like 2012 or 2020), and this may result in a problematic age setting in the profile.


Please check the current date and time settings in the device and then check the birthday setting in the user profile, to solve this problem.
