Troubleshooting
Start-up Failure
Problems are most frequently start-up failures. If cold booting the terminal does not start the
application successfully, either the application, the system software, or the system is
malfunctioning. If you can boot the system to command mode, try the following:
!
Use Program Loader to download a new version of the software to NVM. This
procedure is described in
Chapter 3, Batch and Spectrum One Terminal Setup for
batch or Spectrum One terminals, or Chapter 4, Spectrum24® RF Terminal Setup
for Spectrum24 terminals.
!
Use Self Test to check whether system hardware is operational. The Self Test
procedure is described later in this chapter. After downloading new software, warm
boot the terminal as described in
Chapter 5, Operating the PDT 6100 Series .
Boot Failure Messages
During a cold boot, the system briefly displays a status line for each driver as it loads, in the
format:
0:Driver #.##
Message Explanation
Double Key Error Two or more keys were pressed at the same time. This does
not include boot sequences (refer to
Chapter 5, Operating
the PDT 6100 Series , for boot sequences).
Low Battery The battery pack should be recharged or replaced as soon as
possible.
Dead Battery Replace or recharge the battery pack immediately. After this
message is displayed, the system shuts off. You may not be
able to power it on again until the battery pack is charged.
Power Fault The last power off was caused by a power failure. This
occurs, for example, if the battery pack is removed while the
terminal is on or the batteries fail suddenly.
