this should resolve it.

NOTE: Some Status codes will not clear even though the problem has been fixed. Status codes that will not clear must be manually reset using the 'Fault Reset 14 Procedure'.

1. Locate the [C] (Clear) button on the Control Panel, at the far right.
2. Locate the Image Quality button, below the Auto on the Control Panel, toward the left side.
3. Press the buttons in the following sequence within 4 seconds. Press [C] (Clear), press [Image Quality], press [C] (Clear) again, press [Image Quality] again.
4. The error code should disappear. If the Status code does not clear, repeat step 3 until the status code clears; but no more than five times.
5. Use the [10] and [1] buttons to enter 14 on the Display Screen, as if you were to make 14 copies.
6. Press the [Start] button. The machine should be ready to use.
7. Make a copy, to check that the machine is working properly.

SOURCE: Reset Error Code F6-10 for Sharp AR-M277

This code is communication problem between the machine and fax board... The battery on the fax board will need to be replaced.

Usually turning off your machine will make this go away, for awhile.
Sometimes preventing your machine from going into Sleep Mode also helps.

The Fax Battery is much like the CMOS battery in a computer.
A large round thin battery, (much like a watch battery)
To replace this, the fax board has to be removed, The battery is Soldered to the Board, you have to unsolder the battery, then solder the new battery to the fax board, then reinstall fax board, then set jumpers on fax board. Turn machine on, do some simulation settings, turn machine off, remove jumper from fax board. Then restart, hopefully you will not have to reset the county code.

Unless your experienced with this, do yourself a favor and call a tech..
