TROUBLESHOOTING
The problems described in this table are commonly encountered operational malfunctions. These types of difficulties
are usually caused by improper hook-up, accidental incorrect control settings, or operator error due to incomplete
programming, and are not caused by a circuit failure. Please review this table, and the appropriate section(s) of this
Instruction Manual, before assuming your transceiver is defective.
