If you are using rechargeable batteries, you must change the

Batteries

parameter in the

Terminal Setup

to reflect the usage of rechargeable

batteries, otherwise you will strange behavior on the Terminal including:
Intermittent laser beams, continuous beeping, black bars on the screen, etc.
See

Chapter 2: Batteries

to change the setting. To display the remaining

battery life of the AA batteries and the type of batteries the Terminal is
expecting, press the

STATUS

key shows:

AAxBAT

-zz%

x=

a when Alkaline batteries are specified in Battery setup

x=

n when NiMH or NiCad batteries specified in Battery setup

Press the

STATUS

key again to resume processing.

Problems with a new installation:

“

Waiting for Base to Acknowledge

” is a normal message, generated when

you first try to establish radio contact. If your Terminal continues to
generate this message and it ultimately results in a "

Transmission Failed"

message, your radios are not communicating. Be sure they’re on the same
channel and try again. If you have multiple terminals, try another terminal.
If the 2

nd

terminal also fails on the same channel, the base station is bad. If

the 2

nd

terminal passes the Site Test, the first terminal is bad.

If the Terminal displays the “

Waiting on Host Prompt

” message, the host

program is not communicating with the Base Station. There is no radio
problem, because the Base Station has already acknowledged the
Terminal’s Sign In. The Terminal is waiting on the Host to tell it to do
something. Try the demo program; if it works the problem is your program.

If using the Active X program with XP, be sure "connection pooling" is
disabled.

If the demo program fails, the problem is one of the following:

1. The cable between the Base Station and host computer is bad. Try

the test with extension cables removed.

2. The host COM port is bad or assigned to another device driver

installed. Try another COM port or try another computer.

3. RARELY !!!The RS232 chip (U13 location) on the Base Station is

bad. If you have other Bases, swap these pluggable chips to see if
the problem goes away.
