Troubleshooting

55Troubleshooting

Problem Check

There is a black or colored spot in the LCD monitor

This is not a malfunction.The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for e�ective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not a�ect the recording.

“Wrong Adapter” is displayed and power turns o�

The power is automatically turned o� to protect the electrical circuit if the AC adapter input exceeds 5 V.

The image �ickers Turn the power o�, and then turn it on again.

Connection to camera failed.(ADIXXION sync. for Windows/Mac)

・ Connection may fail by �rewall function of OS or security software. Please check Firewall settings. ・ If your PC is connected to other network, please try to connect again after releasing the connection. (e.g. Unplug the ethernet cable) (ADIXXION sync. may fail to connect if your PC is connected to other network.)・ Please check that your wireless LAN is compatible with WPA2.
