Troubleshooting
Problem: The LED blinks and goes out as soon as I power it on with the Video button.
Solution: This means that the device is not reading the micro SD card. Ensure the card is inserted securely, and
formatted correctly.
Problem: The light on the device is “stuck” and is not responding to any commands.
Solution: This issue occurs most commonly when the device is given too many commands too quickly. This can
cause it to freeze up. If this occurs, move the power switch to OFF and then back to ON. This should reset the
device.
