6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the following common issues and their solutions:
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Overheating | Adjust the core voltage and frequency parameters within the miner's settings by lowering them. Ensure the miner is in a well-ventilated environment. |
| CURRENT PROTECTION situation | Unplug the power, move the miner to a well-ventilated area, and restart it after it has cooled down. |
| General issues / Miner not working | First, try to reset the device. If you are unable to reset it successfully or encounter other issues, please contact the Amazon seller for technical support. |
| Overclocking concerns | Firmware upgrades may raise the miner's required voltage and boost operating frequency. Overclocking does little harm to the chip in a well-ventilated environment. |
