Introduction
This section explains how to troubleshoot the DR4500A recorder using self-diagnostic test results and error
messages as well as some visual failure symptoms. Using an optimum replacement unit repair philosophy,
trouble is traced to a printed circuit board (PCB)/hardware assembly level rather than to an individual
PCB/hardware assembly component. While troubleshooting is straightforward, we recommend that only
trained service technicians repair the recorder.
