.

Transmission
Failed To
Retry, Move Closer And
Press Enter
The terminal has tried 10 times to get its
message through to the Base Station
with no success. Could be result of bad
radio in base or terminal. Could be the
operator has gone out of range of the
base- if so, move closer and press any
key. Could also be that there are too
many terminals competing for radio time
on one base station.
One Way Not Allowed
Base in Other Mode
Press <Enter> Key
One-Way is not allowed if the Base is
already in some other mode such as
Two-Way or Site Testing which was not
properly concluded. Also, if you are
SIGNed IN in One-Way mode and some-
one else SIGNs IN in Two-Way mode,
the person in One-Way mode will be
kicked out of the system with this mes-
sage. Two-Way mode ALWAYS super-
sedes all other modes.
Site Testing Not Al-
lowed, Base in Other
Mode Press <Enter>
Key
Site Testing is not allowed if the Base is
already in some other mode such as
Two-Way or One-Way which was not
properly concluded. Also, Two-Way
mode ALWAYS supersedes other
modes. If you are Site Testing and
someone SIGNs IN in Two-Way mode,
you will be kicked out of the system with
this error message.

Message
Meaning
– Action Required
“Waiting for Base to
Acknowledge...?
”
This is a normal message, generated when you
first establish radio contact. If you continue to get
this message and it results in a "Transmission
Failed" message, your Radios in Base and Termi-
nal are not communicating. Be sure they are on
same channel. They may need repair.
“
Waiting on Host
Prompt
”
Problem is between Host computer and Base
station. Check to see if host application is running.
Check serial parameters and eliminate any exten-
sion cables. Run the Demo program. Try another
COM port or another computer.
“Base Station Shut
Down Due to Host
Logic Error, Cycle
Terminal Power”
Problem is in host program. Notify programmer!
If the Base Station receives 5
Sequence Errors
in
a row, it transmits the message to all terminals
signed in and shuts down. Check your host pro-
gram for the sequence error before starting up
again.
OR
If the Base Station receives 5 messages ad-
dressed to a Terminal not Signed ON, it transmits
this message to the all terminals signed in and
shuts down.
You will have to cycle power on the Base Station
or you can send a command (*@EOT) form the
host and have the Terminal Sign On again to con-
tinue. See Chapter 6, page 6-8 for more infor-
mation on
Sequence Errors
.
“ Base Reinitialized X
Cycle Power on RF
Terminal and Sign-on
again to Restart_”
Base Station has been reinitialized. If message
reads “
Base Reinitialized P”,
then reinitialization is
due to a power problem. If “
Base Reinitialized H”
then the reinitialization was initiated by the host
program. Fix problem (cycle power on Base or re-
initialize from host program).
“ Buffer Reinitialized
Cycle Power on RF
Terminal and Sign-on
aga
in to Restart_”
The host program has reinitialized the buffer in the
Base Station for this terminal only. The Base is
still operational and ready for you to power off
your terminal, power on, and SIGN ON again.
Other terminals are not affected.
LOW BATTERY Finish,

tery
Finish the transaction you have started. The Press
F1 to Sign Out. Then turn off the Terminal and
charge the battery. This is an early warning that
the battery is getting low and should be charged
soon.

onds, sign out, and turn off.
