11.2 - Slave Troubleshooting Tips
No Sound - check Mute status on individual channels (MIDI Channel display flashes when muted)
check Gain in master's EQ screen, is unit in "factory reset" mode? ("f r" displayed - see sec 5.15)
No Control - check that the MIDI Channel Display matches the MIDI channel assignments of the controlling
unit. Also check that switch "A" and "B" are configured properly, and that proper wiring is used (see page 20).
11.3 - Battery Replacement
Caution: Refer battery replacement to a qualified service technician. The Protea processors contain an inter-
nal coin cell battery used to store presets and user preference settings. This battery will typically last 5 years or longer.
The battery is automatically checked whenever the power is switched on and once every hour. If the battery is low, the
pop-up message "Replace Battery" will appear. Pressing any key will remove the message. Note: The slave units will
alternately flash "L b" with the currently assigned MIDI channel when a low battery condition occurs. Once the
message appears, the battery will last several more days before presets are lost. The battery should be replaced with a
Panasonic BR2325, CR2330, or equivalent 3 volt coin cell that is .91" in diameter and between .1" and .12" in height.
The battery should be replaced with power off and the AC cord removed. With power off, the Protea processor will
retain its presets for approximately one minute with the old battery removed. The battery (+) side should face up.
