General
If you are having trouble with your LINXC Bridge™, a list of common problems and their corresponding solutions can be found below:
The LED indicators are not lighting up on the Indoor Unit
Make sure the power cable is plugged into both the Indoor Unit and a working wall outlet.
The LED indicator is not lighting up on the Outdoor Unit
1. Check the alignment of the two units and improve if misaligned.
2. Unplug the power cable from the Indoor Unit and plug it back in. Wait 2 minutes for the units to power cycle.
Both units power up, but there is no Data Link
1. Check the alignment of the two units and improve if misaligned.
2. Unplug the power cable from the Indoor Unit and plug it back in. Wait 2 minutes for the units to power cycle.
3. Perform factory reset on both sides and wait 2 minutes.
4. If it’s still not working, it’s likely that the window is not supported by the LINXC Bridge.
Both units power up, but the Data Link LED blinks green
1. Check the alignment of the two units and improve if misaligned.
2. Unplug the power cable from the Indoor Unit and plug it back in. Wait 2 minutes for the units to power cycle.
3. Perform a factory reset on both sides and wait 2 minutes.
4. If the LED is blinking green, it’s likely that the LINXC Bridge™ can only operate at a reduced data speed on the current window.
The Indoor or Outdoor unit is not sticking to the window
Ensure that the window has been properly cleaned and is fully dry. If the unit still does not properly adhere to the window, the tape may be dirty.
If the mounting tape becomes dirty, clean the tape on the back by using a piece of transparent tape to remove the dirt from the adhesive. If you accidentally touch the mounting tape with your hands, use isopropyl alcohol to remove the oils from the tape. Once the tape is dry, it may be used for mounting again.
Pair, unpair, or factory reset the device
You can do this by holding down the Reset button on the Indoor unit for a certain amount of time, denoted below:
Enter Pairing Mode: Depress Function Button for 3-9 seconds to enter pairing mode.
↳ All 3 LEDs flash green twice when the unit enters pairing mode.
Exit Pairing Mode: Depress Function Button for 10-16 seconds to exit pairing mode.
↳ All 3 LEDs flash green twice after 3 seconds, then flash white twice after 10 seconds to indicate the unit has exited pairing mode.
Factory Reset: Use a paperclip to depress Reset Button for 5 seconds.
↳ All 3 LEDs flash green multiple times as the unit factory resets.
