DRBIII Error Messages

DRBIII ERROR MESSAGES





Under normal operation, the DRBIII will display one of only two error messages:
User-Requested WARM Boot
User-Requested COLD Boot

If the DRBIII should display any other error message, record the entire display and call the S.T.A.R. Center.

DRBIII DOES NOT POWER UP (BLANK SCREEN)
If the LEDs do not light or no sound is emitted at start up, check for loose cable connections or a bad cable. Check the vehicle battery voltage. A minimum of 11 volts is required to adequately power the DRBIII.

If all connections are proper between the DRBIII and the vehicle or other devices, and the vehicle battery is fully charged, an inoperative DRBIII may be the result of faulty cable or vehicle wiring.

DISPLAY IS NOT VISIBLE
Low temperatures will affect the visibility of the display. Adjust the contrast to compensate for this condition.

SOME DISPLAY ITEMS READ "---"
This is caused by the scrolling the DRBIII display a single line up or down. The line which was scrolled onto the screen might read "---". Use the page down or page up function to display the information.
