Common solutions
Describtion of the
problem
Cause and solution
The remote control
is without function.
Solution 1:
Please ensure that the battery lm is removed. By delivery the
battery is protected by a lm which should be removed before
usage.
Solution 2:
The battery could be empty. Please replace it if required.

You can test the functionality of the remote control as follows:
please hold the IR transmitter towards a camera (e.g. a cell
phone camera) and press any button on the remote control. If
the remote control is operative you can see the infrared signal
on the display of the used camera device.
Radio stations are

As soon as the unit

and user's settings will
be lost.
This problem is caused due to a wrong connection of the ISO
cable.
Please interchange the cables for ignition plus and for steady
plus.
Caution:
If these wires have fuses, the latter should be interchanged as
well.
Common solutions
The following advices are generally valid and refer to diverse Xomax models with
the similar characteristics. Please note that some articles may refer not to your
model exactly and may contain the describtion of features and functions that your
model does not support.

Common solutions
Poor radio recep-
tion:
The radio tuner nds
no broadcaster or the
reception is poor.
For problem-solving regarding the radio reception it is
important to know the type of the antenna of your vehicle.
Here are the possible solutions for each type of the antenna:
Type 1 – passive antenna:
We recommend you to substitude the existing antenna by the
larger and therefore more ecient one.
Shark n or rod antennas (under 5 cm) are denitely insu-
cient.
Type 2 – active antenna:
The vehicle provides no current for the active antenna. In this
case a phantom power is required, which provides the active
antenna with the external power supply.
Type 3 – active antenna with diversity system:
The unit provides no current for the active antenna and has
no diversity support. For this type of antenna is required the
phantom power with an integrated diversity system.
Note:
A phantom power is not to be confused with an antenna
amplier, which is far less ecient.
The unit does not
turn on.
This problem is in most cases caused due to a wrong connec-
tion of the ISO cable.
Please review the pin assignments of the ISO plug and ISO
socket. Pay attention to the proper connection of the ignition-
and steady plus and correct the discrepancy if required.
Note:
Though the design of ISO port is standardized, it's pin
assigment is not and may vary. Thus in case of mismatch
of connections due to dierent pin assignments a simple
plug'n'play connection may lead to grievous errors.
