Use these tables if you have problems using the system. Look in this section for
a description of the problem before calling the Customer Service Center. Many
problems arise from basic misunderstandings of how the system works,
especially when you are just becoming familiar with it. These tables cover many
problems, usually with a simple solution for each one. To solve a particular
problem, do the following:

1. Review the section in this Guide that relates to the problem.

2. If you cannot find a solution, then find the section in the following tables

that relates to the problem.

Read the What’s Happening column until you find the problem.

Read the information in the Possible Reason column.

Try each of the suggested solutions in the What to Do column.

3. Sometimes resetting the receiver can fix a minor problem. Press and hold

the receiver front panel
