(transmission) mode. ONLINE button will now change & show STANDBY and top middle “Standby” indication will
change to “ONLINE.” By pressing STANDBY button, unit will stop transmitting and go into idle mode (no
transmission).
<NOTE> Internal computer will scan for any possible fault conditions and attempt to clear them BEFORE the
system goes ONLINE. If the system still detects faulty conditions, system will automatically go to STANDBY mode
and will display a RED “FAULT” line which is highlighted left top side of display. An operator should click and
check FAULT menu to review fault conditions. (No FAULT test at the top of the screen next to STANDBY).

In an event of fault conditions, STAT windows will change to either “FAULT” or “ALARM” highlighted in RED.
Once fault conditions are corrected, an operator can simply press ONLINE button to clear up fault conditions in
FAULT menu.
<NOTE> Internal computer will scan for any possible fault conditions and automatically attempt to clear them
when ONLINE button is pressed. If the system still detects faulty conditions, system will automatically go to
