OCTOPACK

Troubleshooting

SYMPTOM
NO POWER LED INDICATION
NOTE: If the power supply voltage drops too low for normal operation, the LCD on the receivers will display a
"Low Battery" warning every few seconds. When the voltage drops to 5.5 volts, the LCD will dim and the audio
output level of the receivers will decrease.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1) Power switch in the OFF position.
2) Batteries low or dead
3) External DC source too low or disconnected
1) Passbands of Octopack and antennas may be different; (check
frequency of transmitter must be inside of both passbands
2) Antenna power switched off when external RF amplifiers are
being used
3) Antenna power interrupted by polyfuse; current consumption of
remote amplifier must be less than 300 mA on each BNC
4) Coaxial cable runs too long for the cable type
