Dave,
If you have a manual for the 7475 that would be great. If you find it
maybe you could read up on the error codes, error light and what to do about
them, besides just reset with a power on and off or a front panel reset by
pushing the "Enter" button and "View" button at the same time. Any info
would be a great help.
Thanks
Victor
