Problem Power does not turn on. (No sound is produced) Cause Fuse is blown. Measure Replace with a fuse of the same amperage. If the fuse blows again, consult your store of purchase. Consult your store of purchase. 1. Turn the unit off. 2. Remove all wires attached to the power antenna lead. Check each wire for a possible short to ground using an ohm meter. 3. Turn the unit back on. 4. Reconnect each amplier remote wire to the power antenna lead one by one. If the ampliers turn off before all wires are attached, use an external relay to provide remote-on voltage (excessive current required). Turn off the power, then press the [RELEASE] button and remove the DCP. Press the reset button for about 2 seconds with a thin rod.
