).
(Refer to Table 4-1 for a list of possible failures and remedies.)
4.2.1.
CRITICAL FAILURES AND NON-CRITICAL FAILURES
Failures are classified as either “critical” or “non critical”. A critical failure prevents the
PD 6500 from operating and must be corrected immediately. When a critical failure
occurs, the audio alarm sounds, the overhead display begins flashing and the mes-
sage,
SYSTEM FAILURE,
appears on the LCD.
A non-critical failure does not prevent the PD 6500 from operating; however, it should
be corrected as soon as possible.
