Flanders CM250 Question

I work on a multi-camera production that utilizes FSI CM250s as on-set field monitors. This choice of monitor is out of my hands, but I am responsible for maintaining them and ensuring they have a solid video feed.

I feed two live SDI signals into each CM250, and they are often viewed simultaneously, utilizing the PAP mode. This feed comes from a wireless receiver, and is passed through a DA.

Here is my issue: whenever we lose wireless video signal to one of the cameras, the entire monitor flickers and turns to a black screen. Changing inputs often elicits a similar issue. I typically have to toggle the inputs or PAP function button in order to restore the image.

Is there a way to stop this from happening? Would utilizing a ground isolator combat this issue? Are we misusing the CM250s?
