Why do I keep getting an "Error arming event" message even though the RadioLynx is connected and working fine?
The wired start input is still on. Set Gun Sensor to None on the Input tab, then check the RadioLynx tab points at where the receiver is really plugged in.
- Open Camera Settings | Input and set Gun Sensor to None. This turns off the wired start connection. The wired start and the wireless start are two separate, independent connections.
- Check that the RadioLynx is configured correctly: open Camera Settings | RadioLynx and make sure the selected item matches where the receiver is physically connected (C-Box, camera back, radio port and so on).

- "All start sensors failed to arm" pops up when I open an event. What now? — FinishLynx can't see a start input it expects. Set both start tabs in Camera Settings to match how you really start races, even the one you don't use, then load the event again.
- Why isn't my RadioLynx working properly? — Work through the paperclip test to find which part has failed: the transmitter beeping with the start says whether the sensor and cable are fine, and the test needs only an unfolded paperclip.
