How to Use the Symptom Charts
The Symptom Charts included in this chapter will help you diagnose specific symptoms related to the product. Diagnostic steps are listed on the charts in the order of most likely solution: try the steps in the order presented. Verify whether or not the product continues to exhibit the symptom. If the symptom persists, try the next step.
Important Note: If a step instructs you to replace a module, and replacing that module does not resolve the symptom, reinstall the original module before you proceed to the next step.
