display in the
guest room(s).
If the issue affects all rooms:
o Verify the FMA-101 is properly configured.
o Verify the FMA-101 is balanced flat with the rest of the FTG Basic
platform.
If the issue is restricted to a single room:
o Wait for the FMA-101 to re-broadcast the channel lineup and re-
test. Note: The amount of time it takes to re-broadcast the channel
lineup is determined by the rate setting that was entered during the
date and time configuration.
o Check the coaxial connections and signal levels in the room.
o Replace the terminal.
