Troubleshooting - Symbol SPT 1800 Series Quick Reference Manual

Q u i c k
• Although your SPT 1800 is water and dust resistant, do not
expose it to rain or moisture for an extended period. Treat
your SPT 1800 as you would a pocket calculator or other
small electronic instrument.
• The touch-sensitive screen of your SPT 1800 contains glass.
Do not subject your SPT 1800 to any strong impact.
• Protect your SPT 1800 from temperature extremes. Do not
leave it on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it
away from heaters and other heat sources.
• Do not store or use your SPT 1800 in any location that is ex-
tremely dusty, damp or wet.
• If the surface of the SPT 1800 screen becomes soiled, clean
it with a soft lens cloth moistened with a diluted window-
cleaning solution.

does not turn on.
Low battery warning
after replacing the

A normal condi-
tion.
13
Solution
Adjust the contrast control.
Make sure the battery is fully charged
and installed properly.
Replace the battery. If your SPT 1800
terminal still does not operate, try a soft
reset; see Resetting the SPT 1800 on
page 11.
The battery warning message may ap-
pear immediately after replacing the
battery. In addition, if you check the bat-
tery gauge in the Applications Launcher
immediately after replacing the battery,
the gauge may start at "empty" and
slowly rise to "full." This is normal. It
takes a minute for the battery gauge to
accurately show the condition of the bat-
tery.
