Rev 16.0 

 14  Troubleshooting

 

Nothing happens.  



Make sure the wall power adapter is firmly connected to the Hymnal 
and plugged into a working AC outlet. 



Check the wall power DC adapter and see that it is rated at the proper 
voltage (110 VAC or 220 VAC) for the AC power available in your 
community. 



If the Hymnal is running on battery power only, it must be turned on 
with the 

POWER

 switch on the front panel. If the Hymnal is running 

on battery power alone, the remote's 

POWER

 switch will only turn 

the Hymnal off, not on. This is due to the fact that a Hymnal running 
on battery power exclusively is turned completely off when its power 
is switched off. On the other hand, when the Hymnal is receiving 
power from the wall power adapter, it continues to run (at a reduced 
level) when switched off. In other words, its power function operates 
very much like the "Instant On" option found on many television sets. 



Unplug the Hymnal from the AC outlet and remove the battery cover. 
Disconnect the battery and plug the unit back into AC power. If it 
power on try reconnecting the battery and charge for at least 4 hours.  

The display lights 
up but that's it. 



Re-check the wall power adapter and turn the unit off and on again. 
Try unplugging the power cord from the Hymnal and plugging it back 
in after 10 seconds. 

The display is OK 
but there's no sound 
from the internal 
speakers. 



Check that the 

SPEAKER

 switch on the top of the unit is turned on.  

It plays but it 
sounds bad. 



Make sure the wall power adapter is firmly connected and that the 
wall power voltage is correct for the DC adapter. 



Turn the unit off and on. 

The remote control 
won't work. 



Make sure that a clear line-of-sight path exists between the remote 
and the main unit. 



Bright fluorescent light or bright daylight will cut the effective range 
of any device that uses an infra-red remote control. If this is a 
problem, shield the Hymnal from the source of the bright light. 



Press each button completely, pausing slightly between each entry. 



Replace the batteries in the remote control. 



The 

POWER

 switch is being use to turn the Hymnal on while it is 

running on battery power only. See the explanation under "Nothing 
happens" above. When running only on battery power, the Hymnal 
must be turned on with the 

POWER

 switch on the front panel.  

Hymn doesn't play.  



If the display reads "Hymn is not available," the hymnal does not 
have that hymn in memory.
