Troubleshooting

A superimposed digital page is created.

Make sure to press the

New

button on the front panel every time you turn

a paper sheet on the notepad to start a new digital page, and make sure
that the

Page

icon on the LCD display shows an empty page

. Note: You

can repair superimposed pages with the

Untangle

function (see section

4.9).

The G-Note 5000 has recorded only part of all notes.



The batteries in the G-Note 5000 may have run out of power during a
note taking session. Please replace the batteries (see section 1.5 for
instructions).



Please check if the battery cover is properly closed in note taking
mode.



You may have used a paper pad thicker than the maximum 15mm
thickness. This will cause the digital pen tip to move outside of the
reading height range of the G-Note 5000. Please check if the pen icon

on the LCD display is either white

or black

(see also section

3.2) in note taking mode to assure a proper reading height distance.



After you have switched on the device, it may take a second or two for

the page icon -

or

-

to appear on the LCD display. Please give

the G-Note 5000 the chance to properly start up.



You may have set the auto-suspend timer to too short a period of idle
time (see 3.6.4.). Please increase the auto suspend time.

Lengthened or disturbed digital ink strokes occur

Do not use two pens at the same time, or place one pen on the paper pad
while writing with the other one.

The Page counter has not yet reached 99, but the memory is full.

Although the G-Note 5000 theoretically has the ability to manage up to 99
workbooks of 199 digital pages each, in practice such ability is limited to
the maximum storage capacity of the built-in flash memory. The G-Note
5000 has a storage capacity of 32MB, which equals about 511 digital
pages.
