Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ZTFON YT-2000.

Device Not Powering On or Charging

• Ensure the USB charging cable is securely connected to both the device's Type-C port and a functional 5V power source.
• Verify that the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• If the device has been stored for a long time, the battery might be deeply discharged. Allow it to charge for an extended period.
• Try a different USB cable or power adapter to rule out faulty accessories.

Jerky or Uneven Movement

• Ensure your camera or phone is securely mounted and within the 2kg (70.5 ounce) weight limit. Overloading can affect movement smoothness.
• Check for any obstructions that might be impeding the pan or tilt motion.
• For very slow speeds (e.g., speed level 3 or lower), stepper motors may exhibit slight jerkiness. This is often inherent to the motor type at low speeds.

Face Tracking Not Working

• Ensure the power switch is toggled downward to enter the tracking state (green light should be on).
• Make sure your "OK" or "Palm" gestures are clear and performed within the tracking lens's field of view.
• Ensure adequate lighting for the face recognition system to function effectively.

Remote Control Unresponsive

• Check the batteries in the remote control and replace them if necessary.
• Ensure there are no significant obstructions between the remote control and the pan tilt head.
• Verify that the remote control channel (0-99) is correctly set if applicable (refer to the full instruction manual for pairing details).
