  • Causa
    The initial version of 53401 epg firmware was configured to allow an unused, unterminated digital input/output pin to be an input. during investigation of this issue, this unterminated pin was found to act as an antenna, which could detect external electrical signals. the 53401 epg microprocessor expects the unterminated pin to be silent. when this unterminated pin detects electrical signals, device firmware may lock up and cause a por. when the epg experiences a por, by design, the device will cease functioning for approximately 7 seconds while it reboots, then resume functioning at nominal settings.
