Do not operate or work on this equipment unless you have read and understand the instructions and warnings in the Operation and Maintenance Manuals. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact your Caterpillar dealer for replacement manuals. Proper care is your responsibility.
Request the location of the equipment. With the customer at the location of the equipment, the following questions may or may not be answered. Ask the customer if the equipment is powered ON, and located where the radios have clear line of sight to the sky.
If the equipment was inside of a building, under/next to a large obstacle, or has the battery power OFF, have the customer do the following:
Turn the equipment power ON if the power was OFF.
Attempt to move the equipment to a more open location with a clear line of sight to the sky.Try the "Refresh" again.
If the equipment was ON, and in a good location for data transfer, have the customer check to see if the radio disable switch was disabled. The radio disable switch is a switch between the control module and radios. When the radio disable switch is enabled, the power to the radios is off. If the radio disable switch was enabled, then have the customer disable the radio disable switch, and attempt another "Refresh".
