¶ ⚠ Troubleshooting & FAQs
⚠ Display not powering on
Check USB or 12V power connection. Ensure vehicle ignition is on if using 12V. Verify USB port is working by testing with another device.
⚠ No wireless signal received
Verify receiver unit is powered and properly mounted in an unobstructed area. Ensure you are on the correct channel. Check that transmitter is within range (1000 ft max).
⚠ Display is dim or hard to read
Adjust brightness settings using the configuration menu. Clean display surface. Reposition unit if in direct sunlight. Check power voltage meets minimum requirements.
⚠ Display showing upside down
Use Flagtronics Device Manager software to invert the display orientation. This is a normal configuration option for different mounting positions.
⚠ Unable to connect for firmware update
Install Flagtronics Device Manager software first. Use the provided USB cable. Ensure display is powered on. Try a different USB port on your computer. Check for driver updates in Device Manager (Windows).
⚠ Wrong flags displaying
Verify channel selection matches your track's configuration. Reset unit to factory defaults and reconfigure. Update to latest firmware. Check for interference from other wireless devices.
⚠ Loose cable connections
Check that all connectors are fully seated. Verify the 3' cables are not being pulled or stressed. Use cable management to reduce strain on connectors.
⚠ Configuration settings not saving
Allow 5 seconds after making changes before disconnecting power. Perform a firmware update to latest version. If issue persists, contact Flagtronics support for warranty service.
