Troubleshooting reference

•Adjust the orientation of the HI400, television, antenna, and cables.

•Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna; use a shielded antenna cable where possible.

•Try a different TV. Different models vary considerably in their susceptibility to interference.

Troubleshooting reference

Four common problems with the HI400 are as follows:

•Low battery

•Thermal shutdown

•Electronic shutdown

•No AC output

WARNING: Electric shock hazard

Do not remove the cover or disassemble the HI400. It does not contain any serviceable parts and attempting to service the unit yourself could result in electrical shock or burn.
