The modem uses a system of Fault Prioritization. In each category of fault, only the highest priority fault is displayed. For instance, if the demodulator is

IMPORTANT unlocked, it is irrelevant if there are other receive faults present. If the demodulator then locks, but there is a fault of a lower priority present, this will then be displayed. This also holds true for the faults reported via the remote control. This system cuts down drastically on unwanted and irrelevant fault reporting. A comprehensive list of faults is shown at the end of this section.
