GAUGES LOOKING BLANK, DIM OR POWERLESS?

Gauges are coded to turn off electrical components when aircraft has no power or when voltage is lower than monitored DC voltage threshold variable, digital gauges will be totally blank. Check out the "Custom Features - Virtual Power" link button the the list above.

BUTTONS NOT WORKING ?

This can be caused by any of the following. (all are actual examples)

1) SPAD.neXt user reprogrammed buttons saved in profile take priority - remove any SPAD.neXt profile button programming or retest in a blank profile. You can also delete and re-add the gauge to restore our defaut gauge button or dial programming.
2) FIP needs re-booting - Unplug/Replug USB to FIP

NO SOUND ? (Sound enabled gauges only)

This can be caused by any of the following. (all are actual examples)

1) Make sure the in gauge volume isn't set to '0'
2) SPAD.neXt routes sound out of your default sound device so make sure that device isn't muted
