(2) Troubleshooting procedure
When a
trouble
occurs, proceed with troubleshooting in accordance with the procedure shown below.
NOTE
Rather than a genuine

a
microprocessor malfunction attributable to a poor quality of the power source or an external noise. Check
for
possible noise sources, and shield the remote control wiring and signal wires as necessary.
