II. Signal Problems
Blinking Red Light
The red light (LED - light emitting diode) notifies you of a
message waiting and will blink at regular intervals until the
message is read. (You may read that message by pressing the
key.) While reading messages, to clear the blinking red
light, press or continue pressing until all the messages
have been read.
If the light is flickering, your data signal is bad. Move the
antenna until the light goes out or locate the receiver in
another part of the room. This problem occurs the further
you are from the station or when there is a lot of RF noise,
such as having a computer or other electronic device near the
receiver.
If you can’t get a good signal, you will need to add an antenna.
The signal can be split off of an outdoor TV antenna
or you may use rabbit ears. (If you aren’t familiar with rabbit
ears, consult your parents!)
- no light = good data and good signal
- flickering light = bad data
- blinking light at equal intervals = unread message
