Solution
Your terminal turns off after a period of
inactivity. This period can be set from
one to five minutes, in one-minute
intervals. Check the Power dialog box
(in the System tab under Start/
Settings), and change the setting if
you need a longer delay before the
automatic shutoff feature activates.
For your terminal to recognize
handwriting input with the stylus,
characters must be written a certain
way. See the PDT 8000 Series
Product Reference Guide for
information about how to write
character strokes.
Make the character strokes in the
lower character entry area on the
screen — not on the display part of the
screen.
Ensure you are writing letters and
numbers in the correct part of the LCD
screen. See Using the Block
Recognizer on page 20 or
Letter Recognizer
depending on what input method you
are using.
You must remove the battery door
before performing a hard reset.
Charge the terminal. See
the Battery on page 10.
Align the screen. See
Screen on page 12.
