Troubleshooting

Either the indicator light itself has failed or the unit is not getting power. Ensure the unit is
plugged directly into a functional A/C outlet—not a switched outlet, plug strip, unit surge sup-
pressor, extension cord or GFCI-protected outlet.Try various electrical outlets. If problem per-
sists, contact customer support at 919-573-7854.
Most likely, the extension unit cannot communicate with the base unit for one of the fol-
lowing reasons:
• Base unit has yet to be installed. Install base unit. (Refer to the Set Up section.)
• Extension is too far from the base unit. Relocate either the base or extension unit to
another electrical outlet. If indicator light on extension unit remains solid red, repro-
gram the link code on extension unit (see Troubleshooting.)
Base unit is in program mode. If extension units are already programmed, press the
button on the right side of the base unit. The indicator light should turn solid green.
Either the extension unit has not been installed or it cannot communicate with the base
unit. Ensure the extension unit is installed. If problem persists, you may need to pro-
gram the link code on the extension unit to match the base unit (see Link Setup sec-
tion). To reprogram the link code on base and extension units, see Troubleshooting
section (Incorrect product function). If problem persists, contact customer support at
919-573-7854.

also use an A/C line filter with the device causing the interference. (Do not plug the Easy Jack 2
base or extension unit into an A/C filter.)
