TroubleShooting Guidelines

The TroubleShooting Guide is divided into four sections: Software,Electrical or Firmware, Mechanical, and Vacuum. Before calling us, write down all of your symptoms and the datewhen the problem started. We will need as many details as possi- ble. Even though you may have lots of symptoms that don’t seem related, the problem usually narrows down to a single component that is not functioning. Many common problems are easy to solve or avoid.

Software:

The most common software problems involve Com Port errors.First, make sure the Com Port cable is plugged in. If it is, set the Com Buffer sizes lower: 1.Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. 2.Double click System, then select the Device Manager tab. 3.Click the plus beside Ports, then double click the port you wantto set.4.Select the Port Setting tab, then click the button labelledAdvanced.5.Move both slider bars to the lowest setting.If you experience a system crash, or a General Protection Faulterror, go the the Control Panel, and disable Power Management. This resolves almost all software problems.
