4.12 Troubleshooting
Listed in Table 4.11 are potential errors that
may occur and problem solving ideas for each.
All error codes (Err xxx) can only be cleared by
cycling power. When an error code is displayed,
reset the system to determine if the error can be
cleared with a System Reset or if further service
is required. Error codes are stored as Last Fault
Codes (See Last Fault Codes).
