If the above steps do not resolve the issue, try replacing the monitor with a known working one to confirm if the original monitor is faulty. If the issue persists, please contact Gooxi technical support for further assistance. Front Panel Indicator Lights Alarm Refer to the instructions in the manual to determine the specific alarm information indicated by the front panel lights and buttons.
