Diagnosing LED Indicators

The Switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators to assist in identifying

problems, which describes common problems you may encounter and where you can

find possible solutions.

IF the power indicator does turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a

problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after

running for a while check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at

power outlet. IF you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for

assistance.
