• The NOC is not receiving ranging information from the transmitter. This may

 

 

indicate a transmit problem at the NOC. This should get cleared in a few

 

 

minutes.

 

 

• The transmitter is unable to achieve enough transmit power to send ranging

 

 

information to the NOC. Make sure that the power supply is correct. The power

 

 

supply should be Part #1031105-0001.

 

 

• The transmitter is sending incorrect timing data because the wrong zip code or

 

 

latitude/longitude information was entered during installation.

 

 

• The outdoor transmitter unit (ODU)--that is, the antenna--is not operating

 

 

properly or is not properly connected to the ITU. Please ensure that the

 

 

transmit cable is securely fastened to the Transmit Unit.
