`
`notification pattern in a case where the error is not the remote response error, and
`
`wherein the error determined to be a remote response error is an error of a board position
`
`deviation error imaged and recognized by a board recognition camera, or a component
`
`recognition error imaged and recognized by a component recognition camera.

`
`recognition error imaged and recognized by a component recognition camera.

`
`sound-based notification and the visual expression-based notification in the second notification
`
`pattern.
`
`8. (Original) The component mounting method of Claim 6,
`
`wherein the management device performs
`
`sound-based notification and visual
`
`expression-based notification in the first notification pattern and performs neither sound-based
`
`notification nor visual expression-based notification in the second notification pattern.
`
`9. (Original) The component mounting method of Claim 6,
