Troubleshooting

If you experience difficulty setting up an internet connection even when the instructions in the "Setup Guide" and the "

取扱説明書

 

詳細版

 

(Full Instruction Manual)" (Japanese) are followed, please check the following items.

Unable to connect to the 

internet

•  Make sure that you are located in a service area.

•  The incoming signal strength may be low. Retry the connection in a location with a higher 

incoming signal strength.

•  If the "HS" or "HS+A" icon does not appear in the display, launch Quick Setting Web to check 

that an internet connection has been properly set up.

Communication is easily 

disrupted

•  The incoming signal strength may be low. Check the radio reception level and move to a 

location for a higher incoming signal strength.

•  Check the remaining battery level. If the remaining battery level is low, recharge the battery 

pack before reconnecting the product.

•  Check to see if the product is properly connected to a PC, or the like, on a wireless LAN (Wi‑Fi®), 

Bluetooth®, or by a USB cable.

•  If the product is connected to a PC, or the like, on a wireless LAN (Wi‑Fi®) or Bluetooth® 

function, reboot the product.

•  If there is radio interference from other networks, such as multiple access points having been 

set up in the vicinity, radio reception may be improved by changing “Channels” for the product.

•  Confirm that this product has the latest firmware.

(How to confirm: Home screen ‑ [Settings] ‑ [Maintenance] ‑ [Firmware Update])

When “There is new firmware available. Do you want to update?” is displayed on the display 

of this product, it indicates that a new firmware exists. In that case, refer to the “Updating the 

Firmware” of this manual to update the version.

Communication seems 

slow

•  The connection point might be congested. Allow for some time before retrying.

The charge in the battery 

seems to decrease quickly.

•  If the Energy‑Saving Mode is set to "High Performance" mode, switch it to "Eco" mode.

•  Turn off "WiMAX High Power" in Network Settings.

Cannot connect to wireless 

LAN (Wi‑Fi®)

•   In the home screen, set [Settings] ‑ [LAN Settings] ‑ [Wi‑Fi Management Frame] 

to [OFF],  and then you may be able to connect.

Connecting via Bluetooth® Function

*  The wireless LAN (Wi-Fi®) function (on the previous page) and the Bluetooth® function cannot be used simultaneously.

•  If Bluetooth® is disconnected after pairing, tap the Bluetooth device name for this product on the Bluetooth screen of the 

Bluetooth® equipped device you are using to reconnect.

•  When the number of paired devices reaches the limit, "You cannot configure because the number of connected devices has 

got to the maximum." is displayed on the product's display. In that case, delete pairing information displayed in "Bluetooth 
Pairing Info" on "Bluetooth Settings" in the screen of Quick Setting Web.

•  Confirm that your Bluetooth® equipped device supports Bluetooth 2.1 or later.
