power indicator is not lit). The TI power switch is
turned off. Check that the power switch on the TI front
panel is turned on.
The TI power supply cables
are not connected. Check that all cables are connected. At the back
of the TI box, the J3 Power must be connected
to a power supply or battery.
The battery or power supply
is not providing power. If a battery is used, check that the battery is
charged. See “Specifications” in Chapter 1,
“Hardware Overview” for the minimum input
voltage. If an external power supply is used,
check that it is plugged into an AC supply, and
that power is turned on. The fan on the top of
the power supply should be on at all times when
the external power supply is ON.
The battery or power supply
wiring is reversed. If using a car battery, check that the wiring is
correct. If the wiring has been reversed and the
power switch turned on, it is likely the fuse has
blown.
The fuse has blown. The 3A fast-blow fuse is located on the TI front
