Sound Screen
The “Volume” portion of this screen has two buttons
and a sliding control. Pressing on the “Mute” button
turns the alarm volume off. Pressing the “Max” but-
ton turns the volume to its loudest level. Pressing
the sliding control in any position sets the volume
to the level indicated in that control. Pressing and
moving back and forth across the sliding control will
change the volume up as it is moved left to right and
down as it is moved from right . The Over-Speed
Alarm box allows the user to turn the alarm on and
off. (Figure 37)

Diagnostics Tests
Motor Sensor Test
The “Motor” Sensor test can help you determine
whether they may be a problem with the HQ

Avanté
motor. Slowly rotating the handwheel should result
in a pulsing audible “beep.” If you get a constant
solid “beep” or no “beep” at all, this indicates a failed
test and the machine should be inspected by a quali-
fi ed Handi Quilter repair technician. (Figure 39)
Press the “Main” button to return to the “Regulated”
or “Manual” menu screen or the “Back” button to
return to the “More” menu screen.
Needle Sensor Test
The Needle Sensor test will indicate whether the nee-
dle position sensor is functioning properly. Rotating
the handwheel should result in a “beep” for half of a
stitch cycle followed by no “beep” for the other half.
