An error has occurred …

 message is display

ed

 and then the MHM program restarts. 

This message is displayed with a series of messages. The first is a banner that reads: 

An 

error has occurred! Closing Motorola Home Monitor. Please wait …

 Then, a pop-up box is 

displayed that reads: 

Motorola Home Monitor Error Detected

 with text that reads: 

An error 

has occurred! Program will restart after 5 minutes

. These messages are usually caused by 

the power being removed from the USB Gateway while the MHM program is running. If the 
power was removed and reinserted the MHM program should restart after a five minute 
delay. If the power was not reinserted, then when the program attempts to restart and a 
message that reads: 

Detecting your Motorola Home Monitor Controller 

is displayed. 

Reconnect the power, exit this screen, and restart the MHM program manually.
