Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause - Solution

The 

Wireless LAN/

Bluetooth

 modules 

cannot be detected.

The modules are off. 

Check the LED indicator 

/

 to see if the

module is on or off. If the LED indicator is off, then press the 

Fn + F11

(WLAN)

 or 

Fn + F12 (Bluetooth)

 in order to enable the modules.

The

 

Bluetooth

 module 

is 

off

 after resuming 

from Sleep.

The Bluetooth module’s default state will be off after resuming from the
Sleep power-saving state

. Use the key combination (

Fn + F12

) to power

on the Bluetooth module after the computer resumes from Sleep.

A file cannot be copied 
to/from a connected 

Bluetooth

 device.

Transferring data between the computer and a Bluetooth enabled
device is supported 

in one direction only (simultaneous data

transfer is not supported)

. If you are copying a file from your

computer to a Bluetooth enabled device, you will not be able to copy a
file from the Bluetooth enabled device to your computer until the file
transfer process from the computer has been completed.

The captured video 
files from the 

PC 

Camera

 are taking up 

too much disk space.

Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial
amount of disk space for each file.

Note that the 

Windows 7

 system requires a minimum of

 15GB

 of free

space on the

 C: drive

 system partition. It is recommended that you

save the capture video file to a location other than the 

C:drive

, limit the

file size of the captured video or reduce video resolution (

Options 

>

Video Capture Pin... 

>

 Output Size

).

Wireless Device 

Operation Aboard 

Aircraft

The use of any portable 

electronic transmission 

devices aboard aircraft is 

usually prohibited. 

Make 

sure the wireless 

modules are OFF if you 
are using the computer 

aboard aircraft.

Use the key combinations 

to toggle power to the 

WLAN/Bluetooth

 

modules, and check the 

LED indicator/visual 

indicator to see if the 

modules are powered on or 

not

.
