Troubleshooting
In the case of a failure, the following table should be checked.
Symptom
Possible error
Correction
Transmitter does not respond Empty battery.
Connect battery charger.
Transmitter has a short range
or does only work when
pointing directly against the
receiver.
Low battery.
Connect battery charger.
Wrong placement of receiver. Check if the receiver has a
position where it can receive
IR-signals without being
disturbed.
An obstacle is blocking the
IR-signal.
See above. Look for obstacle
between transmitter and
receiver.
Transmitter does work for a
short time on some or all
channels.
Transmitter not correct
programmed – programmed
without continuous IR.
Reprogram: enable
continuous IR.
Transmitter does only
function on some keys.
Transmitter not correct
programmed – programmed
with wrong codes.
Reprogram.
Check if green light indicator
illuminates when key is
pressed.
When IR-capture: transmitter
exit IR-capture before IR-
signal is sent.
IR-noise from environment.
Avoid IR-signals from bulbs,
sun etc. to reach Pico4-8-16
when capturing IR.
Trouble when IR-capture.
Variable strength or direction
of transmitted IR.
IR-signal not possible to
copy.
Try different angles and
distances (up to 10+ cm may
be used) when doing IR-
capture.
Some IR-signals is not
possible to copy.
When IR-capture: transmitter
exits IR-capture when first
IR-signal is sent.
Repetitive IR-signals from
transmitter.
Avoid press
& hold
on key
when IR-capture is done.
There are no fuses inside IR-transmitter.
