Troubleshooting
Below is a list of problems that may be encountered, and steps to remedy them. If your particular issue is not addressed
by the below, see the Support page at
http://www.eagletreesystems.com/Support/support.html
.
Issue: My model’s altitude reading does not appear to be correct.
Solution: If your model is not airtight or at least sealed well up front, you may have altitude jumpiness, since the
altimeter measures changes in air pressure. Install the T fitting as described in the “Altitude Measurement” section
above.
Issue: I get the “No Signal” message from the Dashboard, and never see live data.
Solution: Make sure the Seagull Transmitter is plugged into the correct Recorder slot, and that the plug polarity is correct
Solution: Make sure that the Recorder light is flashing one repeated flash (or two repeated flashes if the Recorder buffer
is full)
Solution: Make sure that the Recorder is not connected to USB.
Solution: Turn vehicle’s power off, WAIT 10 SECONDS, turn your vehicle’s power back on, and then turn your
Dashboard off and on.
Solution: Make sure the Seagull ID is correctly set in both the Recorder and the Dashboard, by running through the
Seagull Setup Wizard again.
