P2 Viewer alert - purple triangle with an exclamation point?

[uhrgl]

I downloaded P2 Viewer and the manual last night and started working with it today. The manual is written in Chinese, which I currently cannot read. I can't find the English manual. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

OR if anyone has some experience with the P2 Viewer, here is my question:

In my primary bin, I have a virtual P2 card mounted. I can see the thumbnail and the clip plays back (choppy), but there's a small alert icon in the upper right hand corner -- it's a purple triangle with an exclamation point inside! Any clue what that means?

It's scaring the hell out of me. The same data mounted directly from the P2 card (NOT the virtual contents on my external drive)
doesn't display the alert.

Please help.

The official download comes with multiple translations of the manual, where did you download P2 Viewer from? Regardless, you can get an official version of the software and manual here:

An exclamation mark on a pink background indicates that the clip is spanned and not all segments are available.

That was the site I got it from. Thanks, got the English now.

We were NOT shooting multiple cards at once so no clips should be spanned. Like I said, there is no alert when the card is mounted, only when the virtual card is mounted. Ever seen that?

EDIT: I have, Gabe. My guess is that even with single card shooting, on really long takes, a clip might span over from one SD card to another, since a P2 card is an array of SD cards -- those will display as SPANNED in FCP's P2 import as well.
