If the LED turns yellow again, it indicates a data transmission error and packets may 

have been invalidated. If this happens, check that the digital data cable is plugged into 

the bank securely. If the LED stays unlit, this indicates that the Direct is not recognizing 

and powering the headstage. Contact Blackrock Support at 

[email protected] for assistance with headstage compatibility issues if this 

occurs.
