Appendix: Troubleshooting Guide

44

If HRT700 runs out of Power

Low Battery Power

When batteries are running low, you will see a low battery icon in the navigation bar.
Replace or recharge the batteries as soon as possible. Running on low battery power will
affect the device’s peripheral performance. Hence, the device will automatically shut down
when the battery power is critically low. Under normal conditions, a fully charged battery can
be used for long hours. Here are a few tips to help you get the most from them.

WARNING

If the battery is low, you run the risk of losing the data in your HRT700

Use External Power Whenever Possible

Use the AC adapter to plug your HRT700 into external power whenever possible, especially
when:

● Establishing a remote connection (some modems use a lot of power).

● Using the backlight feature of your HRT700 display.

● Connecting to a desktop computer.

Shorten the Auto-Suspend Time

While on battery power mode, your HRT700 will automatically suspend after a predefined
idle period. Maximize the battery’s life by shortening the idle time. Tap and then Settings.
On the Control Panel tab, tap Power, and then adjust the Schemes setting.

Turn Off the Sounds when Necessary

The HRT700 produces sounds in response to a number of events, such as warnings,
appointments, and screen taps or when you press hardware-button. To optimize battery’s life,
turn off any unnecessary sound. Tap and then Settings. On the Control Panel tab, tap

Volume & Sounds and clear checked boxes on the Events, Application, keyClicks and
Notification tabs.

Turn Off the Unused Peripherals

Turning OFF all the unused peripherals in the device will save and optimize the battery‘s life.
To turn OFF all the unused peripherals, tap and then Settings. On the Control
Panel tab, tap Power Control and switch OFF all the unused peripherals.

45

If HRT700 runs out of Memory

Memory on your HRT700 is shared between storage memory and program memory.
Storage memory is used to store the information you created and programs you installed.
Program memory is used to run programs in your HRT700. The HRT700 automatically
manages the allocation between storage and program memories. However, in some
situations, such as when memory is low, the HRT700 may not be able to automatically adjust
the allocation. If you receive a message stating that storage or program memory is
unavailable, try the following solutions.

Storage Memory-Secure Digital (SD) Storage Card

1. Move data to a Secure Digital (SD) Storage Card.

2. Tap , Program and then Windows Explorer. A folder named “Storage Card” will
appear once the SD memory card is inserted.

3. This folder will disappear automatically once the card is taken out from the slot.

4. Move any file or data into the “Storage Card” folder for backup purposes.

5. Files or data save in the SD card can be opened in any other SD card reader or
computer.

6. Files copied from computer can also be opened in the HRT700 unit, as long
as it does not exceed the memory of the unit.

Program memory

1. Stop programs that you are not currently using. In most cases, programs
automatically stop to free needed memory. However, in some situations, such as when

confirmation dialog boxes are waiting for a user’s response, the program may not be

able to stop automatically.

2. Clear storage memory as described in the preceding section. This will free some
storage memory so that it can be allocated to program memory.

these guidelines helps to ensure the lifespan of your HRT700 and reduces the risk of damage.

Routine Care

To keep your HRT700 in good condition and working properly, follow these guidelines:

● Keep your HRT700 away from excessive moisture and extreme temperature.

Do not expose your HRT700 to liquids or precipitation.

screen.

● Store your HRT700 in a protective case when not in use.

● Clean your HRT700 by wiping the screen and the exterior with a soft, damp

cloth moistened only with water.

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the internal components, do
not spray liquid directly on the screen or allow excess liquid to drip inside your
HRT700. Using soap or other cleaning products on the screen may discolor and
damage the screen.

you on local regulations, and/or the existence of any battery disposal programs in the
operation.

The HRT700 should not be disposed along with the general household waste. In order to
forward them for recycling or dispose them properly, please use the public collection system
or return them to Pradotec or the authorized partners
