TROUBLESHOOTING
4.2.1
Tablet Does Not Power On
If the tablet will not power on when the power button is
pressed, the batteries may not have enough power to
operate the device. Plug the AC adapter into the tablet to
charge the batteries. The tablet can be used during the
charging process.
If the tablet still does not boot and the green LED flashes
for 5 seconds, the tablet has overheated. Allow the tablet
to cool down and try again.
4.2.2
RF Link Is Down
If the RF Link icon indicates the link is down, the radio in
the tablet is not able to communicate with the radio in the
base station. This problem can have several causes:
1.
First, make sure the base station has completely
booted. If it has not, wait for it to complete booting
and check to see if the icon has changed to indicate
the RF link is up.
2.
If the base station has completely booted but the RF
link icon indicates the link is still down, the radio in the
tablet may not be receiving a strong enough signal
from the base station. Either the distance between
the tablet and base station may be too great or inter-
ference could be a factor. Try moving the tablet closer
to the base station. If the icon has changed to indi-
cate the RF link is up, operate the tablet closer to the
base station.
Refer to the following only if using a DECT-based base
station:
3.
If the base station is DECT-based, run through the
registration process. If the tablet and base station are
not registered with each other, the system will not
function properly. If registered, but still not working,
please contact the service representative for assis-
tance.
Refer to the following only if using an Access Point base
station:
3.
If the radio in the tablet is still not communicating with
the radio in the base station, check the system IDs of
the radios in both the base station and the tablet.
These IDs must match. If they do not match, change
them to match. The default system ID is "Nokia
WLAN".
4.
To check the system ID on the tablet, refer to section
2.3 "Radio Configuration Options".
5.
To check the system ID on the access point base
station:
a. Disconnect the modem. Connect a null modem
cable to the back of the base station.
