Problem:
The CameraMan Camera’s autoTRACK operation is irregular.
Solution:
1. Check the
Battery LOW
LED on the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack.
If the LED is illuminated, the battery is low and needs to be recharged.
2. If the battery is charged, you may need to change the RF frequency on
which the CameraMan is currently operating. To do this, change the
position of the
RF CHANNEL
switch on the back of the Main Docking
Station and on the back of the Tracking Ring Power Pack to the opposite
setting (both switch positions must match).
3. Inspect the CameraMan camera’s location to verify that no obstructions,
such as the main power cable, are impeding its ability to freely pan left
and right or to tilt up and down.
4. Verify that both antennae are connected to the Main Docking Station and
that no wires or metal objects are touching either antenna.
5. Check the battery in the Tracking System Keypad.
6. Verify that the Main Docking Station is at least 1’ from the camera unit.
The Keypad takes (2) AA batteries with a lifespan of two to three
months with average use. The Keypad indicates that its battery is
low with a long beep when any button is pressed. Replace the
battery at that time.
Problem:
The Tracking Ring Unit’s audio is not working.
Solution:
1. Check to make sure that the
AUDIO
switch is set to the
ON
position.
2. Check the top of the Tracking Ring Power Pack to make sure the Tracking
Ring is plugged into the port marked
TRACKING RING
.
3. Check to see if the
AUDIO
LED on the back of the Docking Station
illuminates when the microphone is receiving audio.
The LED will only illuminate while speaking into the Tracking Ring
microphone.
4. If the
AUDIO
LED on the back of the Main Docking Station illuminates
and you are still not receiving audio, you may have a wiring problem from
the Main Docking Station to the audio system. If this is the case, please
contact your CameraMan System Installer.
5. Verify that the Audio Mixer is operating properly.
