TROUBLESHOOTING
Q1: The light does not turn on and the menu will not display.
A1: Check the power cable to ensure it is properly plugged in. Ensure that
the power outlet is live by plugging in a different device.
Q2: The light will not turn on, but the menu does display.
A2: Using the menu, ensure that all the color dimmers are not set to 000.
Q3: The light does not respond to DMX commands.
