3.3.14 Troubleshooting Guide
 This program may malfunction sometimes due to a communication problem between the PC and 
display or electromagnetic waves emitted from nearby electronic devices.
 
IssueSolution
The display you want to control 
does not appear on the system 
information chart. 1. Check the connection of the RS232C cable (check that the 
cable is properly connected to appropriate serial port).
2. Check that another display with a duplicate  ID is not 
connected. Connecting displays with a duplicate  ID can 
cause the displays not to be shown due to data collision.
3. Check that the display  ID is within the range of 0 and 99. 
(Change the ID using the Display menu.)
 For a display that supports the ID in a range of 0 to 99, 
the ID should be set between 0 and 99.
 
The display you want to control 
does not appear on the other 
Control Info Grids. Check that the display is powered on. (See the power status in 
the system information chart.)
Ensure you select the input source the display is connected to.
The following message appears 
repeatedly. Check that the display you want to control is selected.
Displays power on or off at different 
time from one another even though 
On Time  or Off Time  is set. Adjust the time on the PC to synchronize the time between the 
connected displays.
The remote control does not work. The remote control may not work if the RS-232C cable is  removed or the program is closed abnormally while the  Remote 
Control  function is  Disable. To resolve this, run the program 
again and set Remote Control  to Enable .
