TVG

Settings Are Corrupt (DEAD Mode)

If the internal, non-volatile memory fails, it will cause TVG

to fail. It

is very unlikely this event will occur, but if it does, you will see the
following screen:

•

This message will clear after about 25 seconds and TVG

will

go into

DEAD Mode

While TVG

is in

DEAD Mode

you may

continue to watch TV. The

TVG Power Indicator Light

and the

TVG Indicator Light

will flash continuously indicating TVG

failure. If this occurs, try resetting the non-volatile memory by
following the steps in “Resetting TVG

to Factory Default.” If

this does not correct the problem, call technical support.
