6.3.1. HAMlab doesn’t turn ON anymore 

Make sure your power supply is on and properly connected. Try to remove HAMlab cover and check the 
main fuse - if broken, try to replace it. 
 

6.3.2. Cannot connect to HAMlab anymore 

Try to turn your HAMlab off and follow quick start procedure first. If you hear that the fan doesn’t lower 
it’s power (revolutions) after 1 min after turning the HAMlab on this might suggest that SD card image 
(HAMlab software) is corrupted. In this case it is recommended to remove SD card and try to reinstall it. 
 

6.3.3. There is no transmit power from the HAMlab 

If there is no transmit power from the device please check your Power SDR settings first. In case that 
settings are not the case, please try to remove the cover of HAMlab and Transceiver module to replace 
the fuse.
