5. System Menu

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The system menu is where you can monitor battery output, 

as well as adjust screen brightness, toggle LED’s on/off, or reset all parameters if needed.  
If screen brightness is adjust to 100, it will enter “daylight mode”, which will change the 
color scheme to be more visible in extreme brightness.

 

 
 
6. Troubleshooting 

 
 

A) –Knob is not responding:  
Solution 1: Make sure the “Input Select” is set to “Knob” (page 8)  
Solution 2: Disconnect power from hand unit and receiver, then reconnect  
Solution 3: The knob limits and/or lens limits may have been set to “zero range” or 
limited in one direction. Under the “Control” menu, check to see if any of the buttons 
read “Clear Limit”, and tap the button to clear the limits. 
Solution 4: Under the “System” menu, tap the “Reset All” button.  This will clear all 
limits. 
Solution4: Check to make sure the lens motor didn’t get set to “zero” calibration while 
being manually calibrated.  Check this by re-calibrating the lens motor (see Chapter 5) 
 
B) -General Malfunctions: The most common cause of malfunctions is ‘hot swapping’ 
the motors (i.e., plugging the motor (yellow plug) into the receiver while it is already 
connected to its power source (red plug)) – Solution = Don’t hot swap the motors – 
unplug and re-plug the power to the receiver (red plug) – in other words, always make 
sure the motor is plugged in before the power. 
 
C) -Auto Calibrate Mode not functioning properly:  
Solution 1 = Using an AC adapter?  If so, try switching to battery power.   
Solution 2 = Unplug the power cable (red) and re-plug.   
Solution 3 = Use Manual Calibrate Mode (page 7)
