Display "I2C Error"
An I2C error indicates that the internal electronics cannot receive correct communications from the internal
reception component. As a rule, this can be traced to the following causes:
1) The battery voltage is too low (when the measuring instrument is in a cold environment, the battery
operating time is reduced)
2) Connecting the LNB whilst the measuring instrument is switched on can lead to a voltage spike, which
can generate an I2C error. Do not connect the LNB unless the measuring instrument is switched off.
The measuring instrument shuts down
1) The battery voltage is too low
2) The timer is activated - check the timer setting in the "Setup" menu
3) The LNB has a short circuit or is drawing excessive current.
The measuring instrument has not found any lock-on
Make sure that you have downloaded a current transponder list for your measuring instrument; check
whether a more recent list is available, and update it if necessary.
Attempt to switch between "BER linear" & "BER log" (with the measuring instrument switched off, keep
the DOWN button pressed until the "Setup" screen appears. Scroll down until "BER" appears. Press the
RIGHT button to switch over to the right side between "linear" and "log". Check in the "Setup" screen
whether the measuring instrument is set up to show "Found").
Apple MAC
The software is not MAC-compatible.
Storage
If the instrument is placed in storage for longer than three weeks, unplug the battery connections. When
the instrument is required again, reconnect the battery and charge the instrument overnight before use.
Tip:
To keep the battery in good condition, if the instrument is being used only infrequently, charge it
overnight not less than every two weeks. If the instrument is being used every day, we recommend
that it is charged overnight before the next working day, so as to have the maximum battery capacity
available.
