• Check the transmission from the case itself using the

receiver There should be direct air transmission at close
proximity (say within feet)

Problem

The X suddenly turns OFF during tracing or when a control

button is pressed

• The internal batteries are weak even though the “bAt” symbol

may not yet be flashing on the display Either try to use the

X at a lower power level or replace the batteries
