MESSAGES you may receive onscreen may include the following: • Cable Signal Problem • Smart Card Not Inserted • Smart Card Not Paired • Smart Card Never Paired • Smart Card Com Error • Smart Card Invalid • Smart Card Expired • Smart Card Suspended • Smart Card Blacklisted • Access Denied • Channel Deleted • Video Not Ready • Audio Not Ready • System Data Not Ready • Parental Lock
MESSENGER SCREENS Specific messages regarding your account, line-up changes, temporary outages or weather patterns can be transmitted directly to your Digital Set-Top Box by way of MESSENGER SCREENS. Once read, some MESSENGER SCREENS are temporary, and go away after a few seconds, or are removed by pressing the “OK” button on your remote. Others may require you to contact your service and address certain issues in order to be removed. 4.3 Problem Solving REPAIR SERVICE If you need help installing your Digital Set-Top Box, cannot solve Digital Set-Top Box problems after you have reviewed the following section, are having trouble with your cable signal, or have forgotten your PIN-code, please contact your customer service representative. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTIONS No Red or Green LED lights appear on the front panel display of your Digital Set-Top Box. Your box is not plugged in properly. Make sure the power cord is plugged in correctly and the power outlet is working properly. The Digital Set-Top Box does not respond to your Remote Control. 1. The Digital Set-Top Box is in standby mode. 2. Something, such as furniture, is blocking the path between the Remote Control and the Digital Set-Top Box. 3. The batteries in the Remote Control need to be replaced. Check that nothing is blocking the front panel of your Digital Set-Top Box. In CABLE MODE, Press the POWER button on the Remote Control. This will bring the Digital Set-Top Box out of standby mode. If there is still a problem, try to operate your Digital Set-Top Box using the front panel buttons. If this does not work, your Digital Set-Top Box may be at fault. But if this works, you should replace the batteries on your Remote Control. If replacing the batteries properly (check the + and - position) doesn’t work, then your Remote Control may have problems.
The front panel displays a Green LED Light, but nothing is displayed on the TV. The Digital Set-Top Box is not hooked up properly to your television set. If your system is connected by Coax Cables, switch your TV to the channel you have selected as its channel for the Digital Set-Top Box. NOTE: If you have not yet manually tuned your TV or turned your TV on, you need to do this first.
