- Check the room account can still sign in (expired passwords and licenses are common causes).

- Reseat the USB cables at the unit; use the ports the manufacturer recommends for cameras and audio.
- Check the default camera, microphone and speaker in the room app's device settings.
- Restart the unit.
Keeps disconnecting or drops out
- Use wired Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi, and check the switch port for errors.
- Update firmware.
Won't turn on or status light is red/blinking
- Check the power adapter is the original one and firmly connected, and try another outlet.
