Explanation

Condition

Recommended Action

1. The monitor fails to power-up when

the

ON/STANDBY

button is pressed.

1. Take steps as noted in “Power” on

page 48.

2. The monitor powers-up, but some/

one of the other buttons does not
respond.

1. Ensure that the keypad is plugged

into the Main PCB. If the connection
is good, change the keypad.

2. If the problem persists, change the

Main PCB.

3. When the wheel is rotated, no

highlight appears on the display
screen, and/or the monitor does not
respond to wheel presses.

1. Ensure that the encoder cable is

plugged into the Main PCB. If the
connection is good, change the
encoder.

2. If the problem persists, replace the

Main PCB.
