7 ) Troubleshooting
•
The Remote/Pager is frozen and won't turn ON/OFF.
◦
The RP can be reset by momentarily holding down both of the front buttons at the
same time.
•
The range of the Remote/Pager is not very good.
◦
The wireless connection between the RP and the POD can be changed to a different
channel if there are issues with interference. The channel can be changed on the
POD by accessing the appropriate menu through the HUD. To change the channel
on the RP, hold down the left, front button while the RP is powered down. Skip
through the first screen which is used to set the serial number of the POD that the RP
is to connect to. The next screen allows you to change the channel number.
•
The system turns off when the RP is plugged into the HUD charging cord.
◦
When the RP battery is very low, sometimes the initial power demand causes the
system to shut down. The system can be powered back up immediately and system
operation will continue normally.
•
The Remote/Pager does not connect.
◦
There is probably a difference of serial number or RF channel between the remote
and the main system. Follow these steps to make sure that these two parameters
match.
▪
Make note of the system serial number displayed on the HUD when it is turned
on. It will be labeled “POD SN”.
▪
Make note of the RF channel located in SETUP → ADVANCED → RF PARAMS.
▪
Turn on the RP, and while the Ray Allen logo is being displayed, quickly press
and release the MUTE button. The RP will then allow you to adjust the serial
number one digit at a time.
▪
Adjust each digit to match the serial number displayed by the HUD pressing
NEXT to advance to the next digit. After all four digits are set, press NEXT again.
▪
Adjust the RF channel to the same value as in the RF PARAMS menu and press
NEXT and then DONE on the next screen.
The RP will power down. It can now be turned on normally and should connect
quickly to the system.
◦
The system does not deploy when the deployment button is press on the
Remote/Pager.
▪
There is a bold D on the display of both the Remote/Pager and the HUD displays:
•
Make sure there is no diode installed inline with the Park/Neutral Safety Input
wire. See 8.12) Park / Neutral Safety Input on page 25 for more information.
•
Check the inline blade fuse in the deployment solenoid output wire.
▪
The D on the display has a circle around it and a diagonal slash through it:
•
This indicates that either the Park/Neutral Safety Input or the VSS Safety
Input isn't getting the signal it needs to allow a deployment. See 8.12) Park /
Neutral Safety Input on page 25 or 8.13) VSS Safety Input on page 25 for
more information.
▪
There is no D at all:
•
Turn on the deployment feature under “Deployment” in the menu. See 4)
System Menu on page 8 for more information.
