Troubleshooting
The following sections identify some of the more common problems with the MAC
system and list their potential causes and solutions. If this information cannot resolve
your issue, contact GE Healthcare Technical Support.
General Troubleshooting Guidelines
If the system is not working properly, save time troubleshooting by asking these basic
questions:
• Is the unit turned on?
• Have there been any changes in the use, location, or environment of the equipment
that could cause the failure?
• Has the equipment’s hardware or software been modified?
• Is operator error the cause of the problem? Try to repeat the scenario exactly and
compare that to the proper operation of the equipment described in the manual.
• Is the battery installed?
• When connected to an AC wall outlet, does the green AC power light glow?
• Is the writer door closed?
Visual Inspection
A thorough visual inspection of the equipment can save time. Items such as
disconnected cables or missing hardware can frequently cause symptoms and
equipment failures that may appear to be unrelated and difficult to track. For
additional information, see
