Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Battery is depleted. | Connect the device to a power source using the USB-C cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power on again. |
| Poor signal reception/transmission. | Incorrect antenna for frequency; weak signal environment; antenna not securely connected. | Ensure the correct antenna is attached for the frequency range. Try using the LNA. Move to an area with better signal. Check antenna connection. |
| Screen is unreadable outdoors. | Direct sunlight or glare. | While the screen is matte, extreme direct sunlight can still affect visibility. Try to shade the screen or adjust your viewing angle. |
| Device freezes or becomes unresponsive. | Software glitch; excessive load. | Perform a hard reset by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds until the device powers off, then power it back on. If issues persist, consider a firmware re-flash (refer to MAYHEM documentation). |
