Troubleshooting & Tips

If you have a problem with the equipment in a room, try the following first:

  1. Stop. Take a deep breath.

  2. Take a close look at your control panel/equipment. Is anything different? Is something unusual selected/lit up/not lit up?

  3. Take a look at the equipment in the rack or cabinet. Is something not turned on that is usually turned on? Is everything plugged in/connected?

  4. Find the instruction manual (usually located inside the cabinet door), and check that the instructions were correctly followed.

  5. Try turning the system/master power off, let it sit for a minute, then turn it back on.
