What should an MVS do when turned on without a cart?

Hey gang, I've just gotten my first MVS in the mail today (already have an AES) but I don't have any carts yet....but I'd like to know that it works....

When I turn it on now...it displays some garbage for a second, (looks identical to what my aes does) and then goes to one of those white grid screens...you know...a black screen with a white grid on it. Also, on the bottom and right sides of the screen...the grid with blue instead of white. I'm assuming my supergun's colors just need to be adjusted...or it'll go away with a game in.

I should have a game this weekend, or early next week, but I'd just like to know if theres anything I can do now to see if it works properly...a test mode or something...I've tried turning the test mode on in the Dips...and tried using my service button...but it doesn't have any effect.

Thanks!

White grid with blue-ish border is normal.

the "garbage" is there with or without a cart
