38 TNMC & Electronic Caption Troubleshooting & Maintenance
6.2 Initialization Information at Startup
Every time the display is powered up and there is no All Sport ® signal present, the display
will run through an initialization process, during which it will test all LEDs and addresses.
First, the message center will display the proper address number.
If the entire display fails at startup, power may not be properly connected, or the address
setting may not be correct on the display driver. Check both in the event of a failure.
