Monitor will not power
up Insufficient voltage
from vehicle battery or
wall power supply Use a volt-ohm meter to check voltage at the 25-
pin connector, on pins 13 and 25 (refer to the
Reference Section cable pin-out guide). Voltages
from a vehicle battery should generally range
from 11 to 14 volts. Inspect monitor power
cable, in-line fuse and vehicle electrical
connections.

such as a GPS receiver
or datalogger is
improperly connected
to monitor.
Disconnect external devices and turn the monitor
ON. If the monitor screen turns on correctly,
make sure that he correct cable is used to
connect the external device to the monitor. See
“Using a GPS Receiver” or “Logging Map Data
to a Datalogger” in the Operation Section.

keypad. If the monitor chirps with each button
press and the monitor still has no display, call Ag
Leader Technology.

antenna for damage and proper connection.
