Equipment Problems

A-2
The following general troubleshooting tips can be used to help diagnose
problems not specifically discussed elsewhere in this chapter.
Thoroughly inspect the equipment.
Disconnected or loose cables, missing hardware, and damaged
equipment can cause what may appear to be unrelated symptoms or
equipment failure.
For additional information, refer to
page 10-3.
Verify the equipment has not been modified.
Unauthorized modifications to the equipment may cause unexpected
results, poor performance, or system failure.
If the equipment has had unauthorized modifications, contact GE
Technical Support.
Verify the software has not been updated.
Updated software may change system functionality. If the user is
unaware of the changes, they may appear as unexpected results.
If the software has been updated, refer to the revised Operator's
Manual to determine whether the update changed features.
Verify whether there have been changes in the equipment's location
or environment that could cause the failure.
For example, equipment that emits radio waves could cause
interference during acquisition.
If the environment or location has changed, try using the equipment
in the original location to determine whether the problem persists.
Verify the problem was not caused by operator error.
Repeat the scenario and compare that to the operation as described
in the manual. If the operator deviated from the manual, repeat the
task using the instructions as written.
If these steps do not resolve the problem, refer to the following section for
specific problems and solutions. If the problem still cannot be resolved,
contact GE Technical Support.
