Appendix B: Troubleshooting
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 RF
CHANNEL switch 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 tilt up and down.
4. Verify that both
antennas 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.
Note: The Keypad takes (2) AA batteries with a lifespan of two
to three months with average use. The Keypad will indicate that its
battery is low with a long beep when any button is pressed. At that
time, the battery should be replaced.
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 in
to 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.
