  • Simply disconnect the power cord from the back of the box. Wait at least 30 seconds and then reconnect the power. The box should begin to initialize automatically - if it does not, press the POWER button on the set-top box. The box may take 2-3 minutes to fully power on and load the interface on your television. If your set top box doesn’t restart automatically within a few minutes, press the POWER button on the device.

• What do I do if I am having picture issues? (Why is my TV's picture distorted?)
  • If the issue is occurring on more than one television: Please make a note of any error messages you are receiving and contact Technical Support (808-643-6111).

• • If the issue is only occurring on one television: Verify that all cables are tightly connected to the wall outlet, the television, and, if you have one, the set-top box. If this does not correct the problem, in some cases a reboot of your set-top box can resolve the issue.

• • To manually reboot your set top box, simply disconnect the power cord from the back of the box. Wait at least 30 seconds and then reconnect the power.

• • If the problem persists, check if you experience the same issue when the television is in use with an alternate video source (DVD player, VCR, etc.). If so, the issue resides within your television, and you will need to contact the product's manufacturer for more information.

• • If you only experience the issue with one TV and with our service, use the information below to correct the problem.

• • Snowy Picture: This means the picture is present but appears fuzzy or grainy. If your television is connected to an outlet or set-top box with a coaxial cable, verify that the TV is on Channel 3 and the cables are tightly connected.

• • Blue Screen: If there is a VCR connected between the outlet and the TV, use the VCR remote to set the VCR to Channel 3 or 4. If this does not correct the problem, verify your TV is set to the correct input. Use the TV remote to cycle through all available inputs by pressing the "Input," "Source," or "Video" button.

• • Wavy, Horizontal, or Zigzag Lines: This problem is usually caused by loose or dirty connections. Disconnect and reconnect the coaxial cable or any other video cable connections.

• • Small Picture: If this problem only occurs on one channel, then the content is being broadcast in that format and cannot be changed. If it occurs on all channels, it may be a setting on the TV for aspect ratio. Consult your television's manual or its manufacturer.

• • Pixelated or Tiled Image: This problem can usually be fixed by tightening all cables or by briefly powering down and disconnecting all devices to rest, and then reconnecting and powering back up.

• • If the problem persists, contact Technical Support (808-643-6111)

• All of my TV's are not working, what should I do?

• How do I check the wireless signal strength on my Fioptics+ set top box?

Place the set top box in a location where it receives at least an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) level of -65 to 0. Anything lower than -65 will potentially cause reduced video quality.

• • See below on where to find your current RSSI level:
    • Open the Main Menu
    • Select Device Settings
    • Select Network & Internet
    • Check the RSSI level for the wireless network the set top box is connected to

• How do I change the input on my TV?

Troubleshooting Home Phone:

• I don’t have a dial tone, what should I do?
  • Check to ensure all phones are on the hook, cords are secure, and cordless batteries are charged.
  • If only one phone is out, plug a different phone into that jack to determine if the issue is the device or the wiring.

• What do I do if I can’t make outgoing calls with my home phone?
  • Check your phone equipment by making sure the phone line is plugged in securely and the keys on the keypad are not sticking
  • Unplug the phone from the wall jack and plug a working phone into the jack to see if the problem persists
  • If you hear a fast busy signal, hang up and dial again. Network problems, such as busy circuits, might temporarily prevent you from making a call. If the problem persists, contact technical support at 808-643-6111.

• What do I do if I have static on my home phone line?
  • If you hear static on a corded phone, it could be a problem with the phone equipment. Test other working phones to see if you hear static all of them or just one phone. If you there is static on all of your phone lines, you may have an issue with inside or outside wiring. Please contact technical support at 808-643-6111 for assistance.
  • If you hear static on a cordless phone, ensure the handset is charged and close to the base, move the base unit away from electronics (routers, microwaves), and replace old batteries. You can also resolve this problem by unplugging all cordless phone connections, including the main phone unit from the wall jack. Wait a few minutes, then plug the main phone into the plug and the wall jack. If this clears the static, plug in remainder of phones. If the problem persists, you may have an issue with inside or outside wiring. Please contact technical support at 808-643-6111 for assistance.
