What's wrong

Talos detected a sudden shock event.

Why it might have happened

Possible causes include:
– Equipment being hit or dropped
– Loose parts due to wear and tear
– Improper installation or mounting

How to fix it

Inspect the equipment for any visible damage or loose parts. Tighten any loose bolts or connections.
If no issues are found, or if damage is evident, call a technician immediately.
