Common Problems
Buzz in Audio Equipment
Some inexpensive stereo systems have inadequate internal
power-supply filtering and may buzz slightly when powered
by the XPower Powerpack. The best solution to eliminate the
buzzing is to use an audio system with a good quality filter.
Television Interference
The XPower Powerpack is shielded to minimize interference
with TV signals. If TV signals are weak, you may see
interference in the form of lines scrolling across the TV
screen. Try one of the following suggestions to minimize or
eliminate the interference:
• Increase the distance between the XPower Powerpack
and the TV, antenna, and cables using a good quality
extension cord (do not use a surge protector/power bar).
• Adjust the orientation of the XPower Powerpack,
television, antenna, and cables.
• Maximize TV signal strength by using a better antenna.
Use a shielded antenna cable where possible.
• Try a different TV. Different models vary considerably in
their susceptibility to interference.
