Can’t get screen on

The screen of the GSI 61 may not turn on due to a line voltage brownout or power interruption. The device is designed to protect against abnormal AC power conditions by returning to power-up initialization settings. If interference is too severe, the unit may enter a lockout mode, preventing front panel operations. To resolve this, turn off the power, wait approximately 30 seconds, and then turn it back on. If the issue persists, contact a service representative.
