The Main Inbox receives general messages that are sent to your pager. You can set message alerts and assign a cleanup schedule to help maintain the contents, however, the Main Inbox cannot be renamed, hav e rou t ing rule s assigned, nor be dele te d .

Ä Routing rules are specific keywords or text strings that your

Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager looks for in incoming messages. You can identify keywords or text strings for personal inboxes. When keywords or text strings are found, the messa ge is placed in the appropriate inbox.

In fo rmation services inboxes can only be created, renamed, or deleted by the information service provider. Changing information service inboxes requires a software change that is completed over-the-air (OTA) or at a service center by the service provider.

Personal inboxes are inboxes that you can create to receive specific types of messages. Incoming messages are automaticall y routed to your personal inboxes based up o n the ro u ting rules you assigned for each inbox. The number of incoming messages is reported when you view the inbox. You can create, rename, or delete person al inboxes at any time.

Commonly Asked Questions

Your Timeport P930 Two-Wa y P ager is a d yna m ic me ssag ing device. It monito rs and proc esses your c ommunications even when you are busy with other things. The following questions reflect situations that may occur and are organized into four categories:

• Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager

• Messaging

Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager

Why won’t my pager power up?

Your Timeport P930 Two-W a y P ager m igh t no t be acces sing the power it requires.

• Mak e sur e you have a battery in the battery compartment. If not, insert a fresh battery.

• Make sure the battery is inserted properly. Check that the + marking on the battery is positioned on the two-co ntact side of the battery compartment. Pre ss the batter y into the 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 contra st ma y be too light. 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 Pager also has a built-in calibration guide to help yo u 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 battery, as neede d. 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

Commonly Asked Questions 81

using your pager, an e xtr a ba ttery can be kept in the plugged - 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 proces ses that can run a t any given time. Symptoms of Low RAM status include:

• menu wheel won’t spin

• time and date disappear from the screen

• all inbo x message counts display zero

• Customize list box is empty

• te xt box is e m pty when attempting to forward a messag e

• nightly cleanup failed to run These symptoms allow the pager to conser ve RAM use. Reset your

pager to correct th e Low R AM status (turn your page r of f, the n back on again). To avoid a Low RAM status, turn off your pager at night when it is not being use d.

Ä An Out-of-RAM status will cause the pa ger to rese t itse lf.

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

Messages that are deleted from inbo xes are he ld in th e Tras hc an until the Trashcan is empti ed. A cleanup schedule is assigned 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 area to an other. After delet ing messages, yo u must empty the Trashcan to free t he memory for use (see “ To empty the Trashcan:” on page 47).

Messaging

Why don’t I receive messages?

Situations that will prevent yo u fro m re c eiv ing mess age s inc lude:

• 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 resett ing yo u tran sm ission mode, see “ To set the transmission mo d e:” on p age 23.

• Your pager might be out of range of the nearest transmitter. Check the icon in the lower right corner of the Home screen. If you are out of range, your messag es will be tran sm itte d when you are back within transmissi on rang e.

82 Timeport P 930 User’s Guide

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” access. Y our pager reregiste rs w ith the service provider after any suspension in se r vic e. Also , if yo u are on the p eri me 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 pager lose s acc e ss to your service provider’s pa ging network, your messages are stored by the paging netw ork until your pager is ready to rece ive the messages. Reas o ns wh y yo ur pager might be unable to receive mess age s inc l ude :

• You have manually turned off transmission to your pager. This occurs by setting the transmiss i 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).

• T he page r may be in Low Me mo ry status. To prevent lost incoming messages, t ransmission is turned off. Delete old messages from inboxes, then empty the Tr ash can to in cr ea se the available memory. For more information, see “ De l e ti n g Me ssages” on page 40, “ To empty the Trashcan :” 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 might be set to silent. Aler ts can be silenced in two ways:

• From the menu wheel, check to see if the pager is set 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 the alert setting for each of your inboxes. If they are set 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 receivin g 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, Infor matio n Se rvice , Personal) for unread messages. Read th e messages or disable the

Page 45

Commonly Asked Questions 83

unread message alert. For more information, see “ To enable/disable the unread message alert:” on pa ge 49.

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

Your Timeport P930 Two-W ay P age r som e time s receives garbled messages from the paging service provider. If you have read a garbled message and che cked the Alert for improved msg? box, your pager will update the message when a less garbled version is received from the paging serv i ce pr ov i d er. Yo ur pa ge r t he n al er ts you to the change. If the updated version also contains garbled text, your pager will accept additio nal updates and notify you of each change.

If you have chosen not to be alerted, but hav e not delete d the message, your pager will upd ate the message withou t notif yi ng 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 inbox is assigned the same filter (text string), the incoming message is sent to the first in bo x that contains the matching text string. Check the filters for each inbox. See “ To assign routing rules:” on page 42.

Why does the sending of my messages fail?

Ensure that you have Full Servic e tr ans m issio n . Re se t the tran smission mode or, if you are out o f trans m ission range, wait until you are back in transmission range. Select Resend from the Out box 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 remo ved fro m inbo xe s un d e r two co nd itions:

• I f you do not se t a cleanup schedule for your inboxes, the auto cleanup feature uses a default time frame of 5 days. Cleanup rules can be set for inboxes through the Read appli cation . For

84 Timeport P 930 User’s Guide

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

• When your pager ha s reache d L ow Me 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 pager, or the battery alone, i s inserted i nto the charger correctly. See “ The Battery and Charger” on page 12 for instructions.

2. U nplug the transformer from the AC powe r su pply .

3. Remove the pager (or battery) from the charger, then use an ordinary pencil eraser to clean the six metal contacts on the charger and the p a ge r (o r b at tery).

4. Plug the transformer back into the AC power supply to restore the power.

5. Re-insert the pager or battery into the cha rger. If the ch arger’s LED still does not light, have the charger checked by an authorized service technician.

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 t he 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 battery temperature is outside the normal charging range. Remo ve the ba tt ery and re -i nse rt . I f fl a shi ng co nt i nue s , remove the battery, wait one hour, and re-insert. If flashing continues replace battery o r have the charge r check ed by an authorized service technician.

• I nsu f ficie n t pow er is being d e live r ed by th e transformer. Plug the transformer into another 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 85

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 continue s to atte m p t to re establish communication with the network. T his ac ts as a continuous drain on the battery. Whenever you lea ve a two-way coverage zone, s et 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, re m ove the battery and put it back into the charger.

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.
