Trouble Shooting
Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the
problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of
these problems occur because the batteries are not fully charged or because the batteries are worn
down and can no longer hold a charge.
