IF that does not correct the problem, try a different cable.

  • Page 85: Diagnosing Led Indicators

    IF the power indicator does not turn on when the power cord is plugged in, you may have a problem with power outlet, or power cord. However, if the Switch powers off after running for a while, check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. IF you still cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.
