If the MPD filter seems to be stuck on your RTI Medical Equipment, start the QABrowser and run the filter test. Hold the MPD in your right hand by the cable edge. When the motor is trying to move, tap the MPD's left long edge in the palm of your left hand until it comes free.
What to do if the electrometer does not give a reading on RTI Medical Equipment?
If the electrometer does not give a reading on your RTI Medical Equipment, ensure that the correct input connector is properly connected and that probe cables appear in good condition. If using an ion chamber, verify that the bias indicator is lit.
Why the cabinet batteries does not last very long on RTI Barracuda?
If the cabinet batteries do not last very long, check if you have updated the Barracuda Cabinet software to version 1.4A or newer. Also, try using a different set of batteries.
Why installation or upgrade of RTI Updater failed?
If the installation or upgrade of the RTI Updater failed, ensure that you are not using a restricted user account on Windows XP or 2000. You must have access to an administrative account to install the software.
Why Bluetooth only shows "Unknown device" when trying to connect RTI Barracuda?
Depending on the Palm model, it may take a little while for the serial number to appear. The Barracuda will appear as "Unknown device". Normally, it will show the serial number if you wait a while.
