Hi

The unit you get may be set up for some strange location. It's possible you will need to reset it to factory defaults before it will do it's thing. 

Lady Heather is a good program to dig into a TBolt with. It's free...

I just want to make sure I have not been sent a dud.   Longer term I can read more, learn, monitor and tweak its performance.   I am only trying to make sure I have a good platform to start with.
