Turning the unit on and off

Turning the unit on

To activate the unit, briefly press the PWR key. This activates the control head and the processor. After several minutes, the INITIAL STARTUP screen appears (as shown in Figure 18 below). This screen displays for about five to ten seconds. The unit will then perform a series of system self-tests in which it checks critical components and functions for any errors, as shown in Figure 19.
