Trouble shooting

Since the OPN2002 doesn't have a display, it also doesn't have a system menu to resort to when
you've installed a crashing application that prevents you from loading new software on the OPN2002.

For this reason the OPN2002 has a few escape mechanisms to allow you to restart, halt your
application and/or install new software. This can be very useful in case the OPN2002 has crashed or
is constantly restarting due to a crashing application.

Restart mechanisms

Automatic

The OPN2002 has a watchdog timer to determine whether the OS is still running or
has crashed. This watchdog will cause the OPN2002 to restart after 3 seconds if
the OS has crashed. This watchdog timer will not cause a restart when only the
application has crashed.

Manually

The OPN2002 has a manual restart mechanism that allows you to restart in
situations that the OS is still running, but your the application has crashed. In order
to activate this mechanism, press and hold the trigger or delete key for at least 20
seconds. After the OPN2002 has sounded the restart beep, you can release the
key to complete the restart.

Halting your application

Firstly, make sure your battery isn't empty and your mini-USB cable is not connected to the OPN2002.
Then restart your application using one of the two restart methods listed above, while keeping the
trigger key pressed.
While keeping the trigger key pressed, insert the mini-USB cable into the OPN2002 to halt the
application.

If successful, the LED of your OPN2002 should now be blinking orange. You should now be able to
load new application or OS software.

Halting the Operating System (only necessary in case a corrupt OS is installed)

Firstly, make sure your battery isn't empty and your mini-USB cable is not connected to the OPN2002.
Then restart your application using one of the 2 methods listed above, while keeping the delete key
pressed.
While keeping the delete key pressed, insert the mini-USB cable into the OPN2002 to halt the
Operating system.

If successful, the LED of your OPN2002 should now be blinking red. You should now be able to load a
new OS.
