CHAPTER 5: Troubleshooting Your HAL System Installation Troubleshooting RAD Devices If a RAD is functioning properly and communicating with the HAL, all four of its LED status indicators (Power, Comm, Audio Rx, and Audio Tx) will be green. The following table details possible causes and solutions if one or more of these indicators are off or red. If you detect a problem with a RAD, we recommend first checking the HAL to determine if the problem is originating there. NOTE: It is best to check these indicators in the following order: Power, Comm, Audio Rx, and Audio Tx. If the power isn't working, nothing else will work. If the data communications (Comm) isn't working, Audio Tx will not work. If Audio Tx isn't working, Audio Rx will not work.
