The Battery and Charger

Motorola batteries and charg ers are made from the highest-quality materials available. The batte r y and ch arg er inc lud e d with the Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager come with a one year warranty and should provide good performance well beyond the initial warranty period. H ow e ve r, re chargeabl e ba tte ries do not last fo re ve r. At some point, batteries wear out and must be replaced. If your battery’s performance has degraded (e.g., the battery’s charge lasts only half as long as when it was new), you should consider replacing your battery with a new Motorola factory-assured battery. Batteries, as well as any other Motorola Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager accessory, can be pu rc hased throug h yo ur deal e r , or by ca lling Motorola direct at 1-800-548-9954.

TIP Before leaving on a trip, make sure th e battery and an y

extra batteries are fully charged . All recharg eable batteries experience self-discharge, meaning that a small amount of energy discharges everyda y as a battery sits on the shelf. Recharging the batte ries to full charge should take an hou r or less per battery.

Recharging can be accom plishe d by p laci ng you r Ti mepo r t P930 Two-Way Pager in the charger or by removing the battery and placing only the battery in the charger. For optimum performance, use the recommend ed Motor ol a ch arg er.

To recharge the battery without removing it from the pager:

1. Insert the transformer’s round connector into the connector on the back of the charger.

2. Insert the transfo rm er’s two-pronged plug into any standard 120 Vac power supply outlet.

3. Hold the pager face up over the charger.

Memory Management System

The Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager internal memory management system automatically performs maintenance tasks. These tasks ensure sufficient memor y is available to receive incoming messages and to support your processing requirements. To maximize memory efficiency, messages are deleted in the following order:

Ä Messages deleted during the cleanup process are not moved to

the Trashcan; they are permanently deleted.

Ä Unread and alarmed messages are deleted from inboxes that

contain 250 messages or if the Nu m ber of Mess age s clean up option is selected and the limit for the number of messages has been reached.

Trashcan — Automatically configured to empty each night at midnight (you may spec ify the clea nup of inboxes a nd the Outbox , as well); midnight cleanup deletes messages placed in the Trashcan 24 to 48 hours earlier. Messages placed in the Trashcan within the last 24 hours are del et ed at midnight the next day. The Trashcan is the first container the system empties when memory space is required (deleting as many messages as necessary to make room for incoming messages).

Outbox — Deletes all sent/unsaved messages from the transmission area of the Outbox start ing with the oldest mess age first. The transmission status is retained but the text of each messa ge is deleted.

Main Inbox —Deletes all read messages from the Main Inbox starting with the oldest message first.

Personal Inboxes — Deletes all read messages from personal inboxes starting with the oldest message first.

Information Services Inboxes — Deletes all read messages from each information service inbox starting with the oldest message first.

Reminders and Alarmed Messages — Deletes any alarmed inbox message or Re minder whe re the alarm has already gone off; messages are delete d in the fol lo wing order:

1. Main inbox

2. Personal inboxes

3. Information Serv ices inboxes

4. Reminders

Ä Alarmed messages that are set for periodic alarm (e.g. the alarm

goes off every week) will not be delete d.

Unread Messages — If memory space is still needed, deletes unread messages from th e inbo xes in the o rder d escr ibed abo ve.

Ä Messages in Address Book entries and locked messages are not

subject to automatic deletion.

When a warning messag e is disp lay e d, the Ti m epor t P930 TwoWay Pager enables you to access the View Memory Usage screen. Once you have determined the area where cleanup may be most effective, you can select:

Timeport P930 Two-WayPager

Why won’t my pager power up?

Your Timeport P930 T wo- W ay P age r might not be accessing the power it re q u i re s.

• Make sure you have a battery in the battery compar tm e nt . If not, insert a fresh battery.

• Make sure the battery is inserted properly. Check that the + marking on the battery is position ed on the two-conta ct side of the battery compartm e nt. Pr ess the batte r y int o th e compartment to ensure the battery is seated properly. For more information, see “ To replace the battery:” on page 17.

• Recharge the battery or insert a fresh battery.

• If the front LED lights when you replace the battery and the screen is still blank , your scr e en’s contr ast m ay be too ligh t. Adjust the contrast.

My screen is too dark (or too light). How do I change it?

You can quickly change the contrast by pressing , then holding down until reaching the desired contrast. Your Timeport P930 Two-Way Page r also has a built-in calibration guide to help you select the best contrast level. For more information, see “ Customizing the User Interface” on page50.

Periodically, the date and time are incorrect. What causes this?

The clock will maintain its accuracy for about an hour after the battery has been totally drained of power. To retain date and time accuracy, replace the batter y, as needed. During extended periods of non-use (i.e., overnight), place your pager in the plugged-in charger so the battery will be fully charged in the morning. While

using your page r, an extra battery can be kep t in th e pl ug ge d -in charger until needed.

Ä The charger is intentionally designed so that you cannot place

both the extra battery and the pager in the charger at the same time.

My pager is acting funny. What’s wrong?

The amount of random access memory (RAM) available on your pager constrains the number of pr ocesses that can r un at any given time. Symptoms of Low RAM status include:

• menu wheel won’t spin

• time and date disappe a r from the scre en

• all inbox message counts display zero

• Customize list box is empty

• text box is empty when attempting to forward a m essage

• nightly cleanup failed to run These symptoms allow the pager t o conserve RAM use. Reset your

pager to corre ct th e Lo w RA M stat us ( tur n yo ur pager off, the n back on again). To avoid a Low RAM status, turn off your pager at night when it is not being us e d.

Ä An Out-o f-RAM status will cause the p age r to re set itse lf.

Deleting my old messages did not help the Low Memory status. What should I do?

Messages that are delete d from inboxe s are he ld in the Trashcan until the Trashca n is emptied. A cleanup sche d ul e is ass ign ed to empty the Trashcan. When you delete messages from inboxes to alleviate overuse of memory, you are only shifting memory use from one file storage are a to another. After deleting me ssages, you must empty the Trashcan t o free the memory for use (see “ To empty the Trashcan:” on page 47).

Messagi ng

Why don’t I receive messages?

Situations that will prev e nt you f rom rec eiv ing messages inclu de:

• Your pager’s radio mode may be set to Off. From the Home screen, the status line will display “ Storing Messages”. Reset your transmission mode to Send/Receive or Receive Only. For information on rese tting you transmission mode, see “ To set the transmissio n m od e :” on p age 23.

• Your pager might be out of range of the nearest transmit t er. Check the icon in the lower right cor ner of the Home screen. If you are out of range, your me ssag es will be tran sm itte d whe n you are back within transm issi on rang e.

Why does the Home screen status line read “Basic Service” when the radio mode is set to Send/ Receive?

If you have just inserted a new battery or just disconnected the pager from your PC, it can take a few minutes before you have “ Full Service” ac ce ss. Yo ur pager reregi sters with the service provider after any suspen sio n in se r vic e. A lso , if you are o n the p erim e te r of the transmission range, you might only have message reception capabilities.

Why does the Home screen status line read “Storing Messages”?

When your page r lo ses access to your service provider’s pa ging network, your messages are sto red b y the pagin g network until your pager is ready to re ce iv e the messages. Reasons why your pager might be unable to receiv e me ss a ge s inc lud e :

• You have manually turned off transmission to your pager. This occurs by setting the t ran s missi on mo de t o O ff (s ee “ To set the transmission mode:” on page 23), or by turning off the pager (see “ To turn off your pager:” on page 19).

• The pager may be in Low Memory status. To prevent lost incoming messages, transmission is turn ed off. Delete old mes sages from inboxes, then empty the Trashcan to in cr ea se the available mem o ry. For more inf o rm ation, see “ Deleting Messages” on page 40, “ To empty the Trash can :” on page 47, and “ Memory Management System” on page 75).

• The battery might be too low to support two-way transmission. Replace or recharge the battery.

Why don’t I get alerted for incoming messages?

Your pager alerts mi ght be set to silent. Alerts can be sil ence d in two ways:

• Fro m the menu wheel , check to see if the pager is s et to Sil en t mode. If so, change the mode to Loud, Soft, or Vibrate. For more information, see “ To select an alert mode:” on page 26.

• Check th e a l ert s et t i ng for ea ch of your inboxes. If t h ey are s et to silent, reset the alerts. For more information, see “ To select an alert type:” on page 27.

Ä If you are actively using the pager’s keyboard when receiving a

message, your keystrokes can cancel a message’s alert before you hear or feel the alert.

Why do I keep getting reminder alerts?

Reminder alerts notify you of unread messages waiting in your inbox. Check each of your inboxes (Main, Information Service, Personal) for unread messa ge s. Read th e messa g es or di sab l e t he

Commonly Asked Questions 81

82 Timeport P930 User’s Guide

unread message alert. For more information, see “ To enable/disable the unread message ale rt :” on page 49.

Why does my pager keep alerting me to the same message?

Your Timeport P930 Two -Way Pager sometim es re c eive s gar ble d messages from the paging service provider. If you have read a garbled message a nd checked the Alert for improved msg? box, your pager will update the message when a less garbled version is received from the pa gin g service provider. Your pager the n al er ts you to the change. If the updated version also contains garbled text, your pager will accept ad d itio na l up d ate s and no tify yo u of each change.

If you have chosen not to be alert ed, but have not deleted the message, your pag e r will upd at e th e me ssage without notifying you.

If you have deleted a garbled message, you will not receive a new message alert for any improved message transmissions.

Why are my incoming messages placed in the wrong inbox?

Two situations can cause a message to be placed in the wrong inbox:

• The text string you identified as your filter when setting up the routing rules for your inbox might be too common. Any message containing the text string you indicated will be directed to the inbox using that filter. Detailed message filters will help limit misrouted messages.

• If more than one in box is assigned t he same filt er (text str ing), the incoming mess age is se nt to the first inbox that contains the matching text string. Check the filters for each inbox. See “ To assign routin g rules:” on page 42.

Why does the sending of my messages fail?

Ensure that you hav e Full Service transmissio n . Re se t the transmission mode or, if you are o ut of trans m issi on ran ge , wai t unti l you are back in transmission range. Select Resend from the Outbox to send your message.

Ä Some service providers limit the size of a message and if the

message is too big, it will fail to be sent.

Why are messages disappearing from my inboxes?

Messages are re mo ve d fro m inboxe s under two conditions:

• If you do not set a cleanup schedule for yo ur in bo xes, the auto cleanup feature uses a default time frame of 5 days. Cleanup rules can be set for inboxes through the Read application . For

more information, see “ To assign a cleanup schedule to an inbox:” on page 43.

• When your pager ha s reache d L ow M e m ory status, the oldest read messages are deleted to free available memory for incoming messages. The order in which messages are deleted is discussed in “ Memory Management System” on page 75.

Battery and Charger

The charger’s LED doesn’t light. What should I do?

Use the following procedure to find the cause:

1. Check that your pag er, or the bat tery alone, i s inserted i nto the charger correctly. See “ The Battery and Charger” on page 12 for instructions.

2. Unplug the transfo rme r from th e AC po we r su pply .

3. Remove the pager (or battery) from the charger, then use an ordinary pencil eraser to clean the six metal contac ts on the charger a nd the p age r ( o r b attery).

4. Plug the transformer ba ck into the AC power s upply to rest ore the power.

5. Re-insert the p ager or b attery i nto the charger . If t he charger ’s LED still does not light, have the charger checked by an authorized service te ch nician.

What does a flashing red indicator light on the charger mean?

The red flashing indicator light can mean one of four situations:

• The battery or pager may be seated improperly in the charger. Ensure the battery or pager is properly inserted.

• The battery voltage has remained low for too long a period of time and the battery cannot be recharged. Dispose of the battery properly and purchase a new battery.

• The batter y temperat u re is outsi de the nor mal c har gin g range . R emov e t he b at t ery a nd r e- ins er t . If fl ash ing co nt inu es, remove the battery, wait one hour, and re-insert. If flashing continues replace batt er y or have the char ge r checked by an authorized service technician.

• Insufficient power is being d elive r ed by th e tr ans for m e r. Plug the transfor m er into ano ther power source.

Ä If the insufficient power is not corrected by changing the power

source, the charger might be malfunctioning. Have the charger checked by an authorized service technician.

Commonly Asked Questions 83

84 Timeport P930 User’s Guide

I just inserted a fresh battery, but it only lasted 2 days. Why?

When your Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager is set to two-way transmission but is not receiving Full Service (i.e., you are out of range), the pager continues to attempt to re establish communic ation with the netw ork . This ac ts as a co ntin uo u s dr ain on the battery. Whenever you leave a two-way coverage zone, set the radio mode to One-way or Off to preserve the battery.

I haven’t used my pager in two months. When I place the unit in the charger, I get a flashing red light. Do I need a new battery?

Your battery is hyper-drained and it needs to be reconditioned.

1. Place the battery in the docking station. The light will blink red.

2. Let the battery sit overnight.

3. If the light is still flashing red in the morning, remove the battery and put it back into the char ger.

4. Repeat procedure until the light goes green . If after three attempts the battery doesn’t charge to green, the battery cannot be reconditioned and must be replaced.

FLEX PC Partner

Why can’t I establish a connection between my pager and my PC via the infrared interface?

• Make sure you hav e open ed the FLEX PC Partner application on your pager and selected to get the Connect Status

screen.

• Make sure y our page r is placed pr operl y in the doc king stati on and that the RS232 cable and transformer are properly connected. For more information see “ To connect the docking station to your computer:” on page 18.

• Ma ke sure the communications port on your PC is correctly set. For more inform a tion, see “ To configur e FLEX PC Partner:” on page 57.

What caused my application installation to fail?

The pager may be in a Low RAM status or you may be attempting to load an application that is close in size to the available RAM. Remove the pager from the charger. Reset the pager by turning it off then back on again. Run the installation progra m again.
