Please help with possible V2 error code

I've installed V2, however after inserting the procede bypass plugs and running the recommended test (5 minute idle, short drive which includes boost) I'm seeing this little triangle with a "!" in the middle of my lower small screen above my steering wheel. It's not the traction code, since it doesn't have the line with an arrow surrounding it, but I can't remember if it always shows up there or not. I don't have a code reader.

The manual has this symbol all over the place, on tons of different pages, so I'm not really sure what it means. Page 4 shows this symbol, then says:

"Indicates precautions that must be followed precisely in order to avoid the possibility of personal injury and serious damage to your vehicle."

Also, the gas pump symbol is showing up in this same area, and I don't need gas. Is this all normal, or are these some actual codes?

I just can't remember what actually shows up in this screen while under normal driving conditions.

Oh Sh-t, I'm blind, wasn't noticing the clock was not set.
Yup, that's probably your problem. That triangle should go away after resetting the clock?

You unplugged your battery didn't you?
That's what did that.

Going out right now to set clock. It's amazing after going through all I've gone through (tough install, details to follow) and the problem (I hope) might be so simple.

sample of of troubles.....ecu's are a pain to put back into their slots....well, the big one is anyways.

Well that was easy. I do feel like kind of an ignoramous, but in my defense....my brain is fried. Code is off, and ready to plug in v2 and load my map. I'll post all my trials and tribulations later. Some of it's kind of funny.

Thanks for all your help guys. Hell, even Terry tried to help, and I haven't been the kindest to him in the past. Makes me feel a bit like an ass.

One more quick question guys....If I do get a legitimate code, which screen would it show up on? The only real code I've ever thrown is the one you get after a dyno, which of course is just because your wheels on the rear wheel spinning thingy.
