System Problems - NEC POWERMATE CT 815 Manual

You may occasionally encounter a problem with the system. In most

system displays an error message. If this happens, follow any instructions
on the screen.
If screen messages do not help or an error message does not appear, refer
to the information in this chapter to help determine and solve the problem.
