Diagnostic Tests
Diagnostics consist of a number of tests that are used to confirm the functionality of your equipment.
To Run the Tally Test
The Tally Test turns all tallies off, and then turns each tally on consecutively. There is a three (3) second delay between each tally being toggled on. Once the last tally has been turned on, all the tallies blink on and off three times.
