PRODUCT TROUBLESHOOTING

Refer to the table below, which outlines potential issues that may arise during operation. For product issues that can not be remedied or are not listed below, please contact RIX Optics customer support by visiting www.rix- nv.com.

The device cannot be
powered by an external power supply| The USB cable is damaged.| Replace the USB cable.
The external power supply is insufficient.| If necessary, check the external power supply.
The image is too dark.| The screen is not bright enough.| Adjust the display brightness
The image quality is poor or
the detection range shortens.| These problems are likely to occur when you use the device in harsh weather (such as sun, snow, rain, and fog).
The device cannot connect to
a mobile phone or computer.| The Wi-Fi password is incorrect.| Enter the correct password or reset the device back to factory setting.
There are too many Wi-Fi networks in the range
of the device, which may cause interference.| For a stable network connection, it is recommended to  relocate the device to an area with a lower number of Wi-Fi networks.
Wi-Fi signals are lost
or interrupted.| The device is beyond Wi-Fi coverage.
There is blocking (such as concrete walls) between the device and the receiver.| Move the device to a place where you can receive Wi-Fi signals.
When the device is used at a low
temperature, the imaging quality is
poorer than that at a normal
temperature.| At temperatures above 0°C, the temperature rise varies with the observed objects (environ­ ment and background)  due to different heat conductivity coefficients. As a result, high-tem­ perature contrast occurs, and the image  quality is better. At low temperatures, the observed targets (background) usually cool down to a similar  temperature because of reduced temperature contrast. Therefore, the image quality (details in particular) is poor,  which is a characteristic of thermal imaging devices.
