This appendix describes common TCS programming and operating problems. Most topics are
covered in the command reference information, but are restated here because many common
programming difficulties result from incorrect combinations of modes and commands rather than
from simple misuse of a single command.
This appendix also includes a table of all messages that can be displayed in the Operational
Status Window.

The following Symptom/Solution Chart contains a list of difficulties that could be experienced
by TCS users. Most trouble reports are caused by errors in using TCS commands, not by
hardware failures. However, if none of the solutions listed here corrects the symptom, contact the
Dynapro Customer Service Group at 1-800-667-0374.
Your TCS will probably never exhibit any of the symptoms shown here. However, to help any
users having difficulties, every effort has been made to include all known failure modes.
NOTE
A soft reset reinitializes all volatile parameters and modes to their default settings and sets all nonvolatile
parameters to their previously saved Setup values. To perform a soft reset, press the RESET touchkey on
the Setup Screen or press Shift/Set Up on the optional keyboard.
CAUTION
A hard reset forces the TCS back to its factory default settings and should only be used as a last
resort when troubleshooting a problem. A hard reset deletes all stored screens and reinitializes the
dynamic character fonts with their default.
A hard reset can be commanded locally by setting the Local/Remote Mode to Local within the Setup
Screen, exiting the Setup Screen, and typing <ESC> l c on the keyboard.
Refer to the Reset command in Chapter 4 for complete information about both soft and hard
resets.
