Common Freedom Par Quad-4 errors & problems
What techs run into most, and what's usually behind it. The step-by-step fix for your exact unit is in Ask Roadie.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Battery runtime much shorter than it used to be / won't hold a charge
Likely cause: Li-ion capacity fades with cycles and with long storage at low charge; expected-vs-actual runtime is the quickest way to tell an aging pack from a charging fault.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Control from a phone/tablet (FlareCON app) isn't reaching the fixtures
Likely cause: The app is a front end to the FlareCON Air bridge; without that transmitter on the correct D-Fi channel there is no path to the fixtures.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Fixture completely dead / won't power on even after charging
Likely cause: Walks the power chain from switch to fuse to battery to supply so a tech isolates the dead stage instead of guessing.

Full specs / spec sheet for the Freedom Par Quad-4
Likely cause: These are the manufacturer/Rentex spec-sheet figures techs need for power, rigging, and DMX planning.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
How do I run Master/Slave (one par controls the others, no console)?
Likely cause: Master/Slave lets a single fixture drive a matched look wirelessly without a controller - useful for quick uplighting sets.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Is there a firmware update for the Freedom Par Quad-4?
Likely cause: Prevents techs from chasing a firmware update that Chauvet does not offer for this model.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Two or more units won't sync over D-Fi wireless
Likely cause: D-Fi only links devices sharing a channel/ID with one transmitter; a plugged DMX line or wrong mode silently overrides the wireless receive.
- Step-by-step fixGet the fix →
Won't charge / all four battery-status LEDs blink together when plugged into AC
Likely cause: The blink-in-unison pattern is the charge circuit reporting it cannot deliver charge current; a healthy supply shows a normal charging indication, so the supply (not the battery) is the failed component.
