TROUBLE SHOOTING
Red light on, no monitor or camera.
Check your battery status indictor, if your camera will turn on, your D-130 will still tell you how
much power you have in your battery. In low power situations, the red light may be on, but
there is not enough power to display an image.
Flashing Red & Green light when I turn the system on.
This is normal to let you know the auto heating element has been engaged. Any time the
heating element is on, the red & green light will flash.
Camera lights on, but no image on monitor?
You might have a loose or broken connection in your system. Unscrew and pull apart the
monitor to cable connector and re-connect it and be sure to hand tighten the connection again.
ON camera light is on, but no monitor.
Check battery level on the battery status indicator, this is a common problem of low battery.
Water seems too dirty to see.
This is not at all uncommon in dirty or heavily stained waters. Visibility will be limited and the
lights will not help in these situations. Understand the camera only shows you what is possible
to see and there will be limitations as to how far the water clarity will let you see.
Turned on main power switch and nothing turns on.
Remove the Internal structure from the soft pack and remove the two screws found on the
bottom side of the case. This will reveal the battery. Be sure all connections are intact and
wires are in good shape. Most likely, the battery drained to a point so low, nothing lights up.
Battery so low, charger won’t charge.
This is a very common occurrence and one we hope to solve with time. Most batteries if left
to simply stand with nothing attached to them will bounce back a little in 6 to 12 hours. This
might be enough to trigger the charger to turn on and start the re-charging process. It will not
hurt to connect the battery to the charger even if it is not charging and simply wait to see if it
engages with time. Please try this for at least 24 hours, if it does not work you should look to
replace the battery.
Can’t solve the problem? Call Vexilar service for support. If problems with your camera
persist, do not send it back to where you purchased it. It is always best to send it directly
to Vexilar for prompt service.
