Trouble-shooting 
 
Symptom 

Cause/remedy 

No free CF card space reported (0 kB/0 MB 
or empty CF indicator). 

There is no space left on the CF card to make 
further recording.  
 
The CF card has been "prepared" for use with 
D1000X firmware version 1. In such case, 
format the card.  

 

The detector shuts down when I try to make a 
recording/play a file. 

The D1000X will automatically shut down if 
the battery voltage goes below a certain level. 
The higher power consumption during 
recording and playback may make the 
detector shut down even if the batteries are 
not fully exhausted. 
 
Replace the batteries. 

The detector will not start even with fresh 
batteries. 

The main power switch may be in the OFF 
position. 
 
One or more batteries may be incorrectly 
polarized. 
 
The protection fuse may have blown due to an 
internal short-circuit or if a power supply 
voltage outside the allowed range has been 
applied. To replace the fuse, the detector has 
to be opened. Please contact Pettersson 
Elektronik for further instructions. 

The detector has locked up and does not 
respond to any key strokes. 

Wait some time to make sure the detector is 
not just busy. Then toggle the Main Power 
switch off and on and restart the detector. 

The detector works, but I don’t hear any 
sound in one or both channels. 

The volume control may be set too low. 
 
One or both PHONES switches may be set 
incorrectly. Make sure each switch is set to 
one of the three distinct positions.  

There is no sound from the heterodyne 
system. 

The HET SOURCE switch may be in the 
MEM>HET position. Set it to the NORMAL 
position.
