Troubleshooting
If you experience operational problems with the Control4® 7” Portable Touch
Screen, check the following subsections for system troubleshooting. If problems
persist, please contact your Control4 Dealer.
Battery Operation Problems
If main battery is low
•Replace or recharge the battery as soon as possible.
•Plug in the AC-DC adapter, and continue using the Touch Screen.
If the battery appears to be damaged or has reached the end of its service life
•Purchase a new battery by contacting your Control4 Dealer.
If the Touch Screen turns off automatically
•Check whether the battery power is too low or completely drained.
•Check whether the system is in Suspend mode (refer to “Modes When
Docked”).
•Tap the screen to check whether the display will activate.
•Plug in the AC-DC adapter to charge the battery.
If the Touch Screen does not turn on when not connected to dock
•Make sure the battery pack is inserted.
•The battery power may be too low to run the touch screen. Try connecting it to
the dock.
Display Related Problems
If the screen appears dark
•Excessive exposure to direct sunlight may cause the Touch Screen to darken
temporarily. This is a natural consequence for LCD screens and is not
permanent.
If the screen appears blank
•Restart the Touch Screen by pressing the Suspend button for 10 seconds.
System Operation Problems
If the Touch Screen locks up or runs slowly
•Try to reset the system by pressing the Reset button on the back of the screen.
You may need to use the tip of a pen to press the button.
•If pressing the Reset button does not solve the problem, press the Suspend
button for memory initialization (see “Top View” for the location). This will reset
all configurations, and will require completing the setup process again. Do this
by pressing and holding the Suspend button for at least 10 seconds until the
Touch Screen reboots. Continue to press and hold the Suspend button until the
on-screen instructions “Release button now to reset the network settings”
appears. Release the button.
•Try to unplug the dock and plug it back in.
If the Touch Screen is damaged
•Contact your Control4® Dealer from whom you purchased the Touch Screen.
If you have network connection problems
•View the system's wireless status by checking the WiFi indicator LED.
•Make sure that you have provided the required network configuration
information described in “Configure the Network Settings”.
•If using WEP or WPA, ensure that the same key is being used on the touch
screen, and at the Wireless Access Point (WAP).
•Make sure the access point is connected to the proper network jack while it is
functioning in the network infrastructure mode.
Battery Instructions
Battery Charging
For safety reasons, the battery pack is shipped only partially charged. When you
are ready for use, fully charge the battery pack by using the cradle for
approximately four (4) hours.
Battery Cell Over-Discharge Notice
When the battery is discharged to a certain low voltage, the battery cell will be
damaged permanently, and its capacity will drop dramatically (over-discharge
condition). If the over-discharge condition occurs several times, the battery cell is
ruined. Over-discharge failure is not covered by the standard product warranty.
Operation Management
When the battery pack is attached to a device, it is possible for the battery pack to
lose battery power due to the small standby current of the system. Use the dock or
cradle to charge the battery if the system is not used for several days.
When the device is idle for a few days without charging, we recommended that
you separate the battery pack from the device to extend the battery life and to help
prevent battery cell over-discharge. To maintain the life of the battery, you still
need to recharge it periodically, due to a self-discharge feature in the battery cell.
Storage
A battery kept in storage without being used for a long time loses power and must
be recharged before use. To recharge a stored battery to 100% of its capacity, use
the dock or cradle.
WARNING! If charging to 100% of capacity is necessary, do not store
battery packs next to each other. Any battery pack with high energy is
dangerous at high temperatures, and storing two (2) or more of these
battery packs next to each other fully charged only increases the danger.
AVERTISSEMENT! Si le remplissage à 100% de la capacité est
nécessaire, ne stockez pas les paquets à côté d'un des autres de batterie.
N'importe quel paquet de batterie avec la haute énergie est dangereux à
températures élevées et le stockage de deux ou de plus de ces paquets
de batterie à côté de l'un l'autre a entièrement chargé seulement des
augmentations le danger.
WARNUNG! Wenn die Aufladung bis 100% der Kapazität notwendig ist,
speichern Sie Batteriesätze nicht nahe bei gegenseitig. Irgendein
Batteriesatz mit Hochenergie ist an den Hochtemperaturen gefährlich und
die Speicherung zwei oder mehr dieser Batteriesätze nahe bei einander
lud völlig nur Zunahmen die Gefahr auf.
