First of all, you've got two values inside the {} goodies.  That means an
array, so it would have to be Image[2]={0xF700,0xF700};.  Also, I believe
that the "chip" designator is "__chip" (two underscores).  At least it is
under 5.05 (which I'm still running).

Taking all that into account, try:

    USHORT __chip Image[2]={0xF700,0xF700};

and see if that does the trick.
