TROUBLESHOOTING

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, read through NORMAL OPERATION first. If the problem persists, check the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem could be something very simple which can be solved without a service call.
