9. Troubleshooting 

 
 

Problem 

Solution 

No signal strength (0% - no bars) 

Check that power is available to the antenna, 
LED should be ON. 
Check that the antenna is pointing towards 
the satellite. 
If problem persists, restart the ThurayaIP. 

LED is not ON when running on battery 

Antenna has no power. Check that power 
switch is ON. Battery may be discharged. 
Recharge or replace battery. 

LED is not ON when running on charger 

Antenna has no power. Check AC supply to 
charger. 

LED is not ON when running on DC-feeder 

Antenna has no power. Check DC power 
supply. 

LED is flashing 

Battery is charging. Normal behaviour. 

Signal strength is OK, but the terminal never 
acquires a connection 

Check that the coax cables are of the correct 
type and length. The coax cables may not be 
shortened, only replaced with other types. 
Please consult the cable guide. 

When the antenna is connected, the 
ThurayaIP reboots, and the connection is 
temporarily lost 

This is normal behaviour. To avoid this, 
connect the antenna before turning on the 
ThurayaIP. 

Even with the antenna connected, the signal 
strength seems unstable 

This is normal. Especially during acquisition, 
the signal strength varies a lot.
