 == Troubleshooting
 
+       === TeleFire Fails to Arm
+
+               If turning the TeleLCO key switch from "SAFE" to "ARM" does
+               not cause the selected TeleFire box to start flashing and
+               sounding its siren, the most likely cause is that the 
+               TeleFire box was left with the local safe/arm switch in the
+               safe position.  The Remote Arm LED on TeleLCO shows the state
+               of the safe/arm switch on the currently selected TeleFire box
+               and can be used to confirm this situation.
+
+               Note that in a cross-bank drag race configuration, any TeleFire
+               boxes involved in the drag race that are fully armed will
+               launch, while any TeleFire boxes involved in the drag race
+               that are not fully armed will not launch.  Pay attention to
+               make sure all involved TeleFire boxes are flashing their
+               strobe lights and sounding their sirens before launch to
+               ensure all desired rockets will actually participate in such
+               a drag race.
