Resetting Your SPT 1700 Terminal

Under normal circumstances, you will never have to use the reset
button. However, on rare occasions your SPT 1700 terminal may
“hang” (no longer respond to buttons or the screen). In this case,
you need to perform a reset to get your SP T 1 700 terminal running
again.

Performing a Soft Reset

A soft reset tel ls your SP T 1700 terminal to stop what it’s doing and
start over again. All records and entries stored in your SPT 1700
terminal are retained with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Palm
Computing Platform Logo screen appears followed by the General
Preferences screen.

To perform a soft reset, remove the battery cover and gently press
the reset button, which is located under the battery cover.

13

SPT 1700 Series

Performing a Hard Reset

A hard reset tells your SPT 1700 terminal to start over again and
erase all records and entries stored in your SPT 1700 terminal.

Therefore, never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not
solve your problem.

Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with

your computer during the next HotSync operation.

To perform a hard reset:

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Hold down the p ower button on the front of the SPT 17 00 ter­minal.

3. While holding down the power button, gently press the reset
button on the back of the terminal.

4. Release the reset button and then the power button.

5. When a message appears on the SPT 1700 terminal screen
warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your
SPT 1700 terminal, do one of the following:

a. Press the upper half of ei ther of the scroll button s on the

front panel of the SP T 1700 terminal to complete the hard
reset and display the Digitizer screen.

b. Press any other button to perform a soft reset.

Note: With a hard reset, the current date and time are retained.

SPT 1700 Series

Maintaining the SPT 1700

Your SPT 1700 is designed to be reliable and to provide years of
trouble-free service. However, you should observe the following
general tips when using your SPT 1700:

• Take care not to scratch the screen of your SPT 1700. When
working with your SPT 1700, use the su pplied stylus or plas­tic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen.
Never use an actu al pen or penc il or othe r sharp o bject o n the
surface of the SPT 1700 screen.

• Although your S PT 170 0 is water and dust re sistant, it should
not be exposed to rain or moisture for an extended period of
time. In general, treat your SPT 1700 as you would a pocket
calculator or other small electronic instrument.

• The touch-sen s itiv e scre e n of you r SPT 1700 contains a glass
element. Take care not to drop y our SPT 1700 or subje ct it to
any strong impact.

• Protect your SPT 1700 from temperature extremes. Do not
leave your SPT 1700 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 1700 in any location that is ex­tremely dusty, damp or wet.

• Use a soft l ens cl oth to c lea n y our SPT 1700. If the surfa ce of
the SPT 1700 screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth
moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.

16

Quick Reference

Troubleshooting

SPT 1700 terminal does not turn on:

• Adjust th e co nt r as t control.

• Make sure the battery is fully charged and installed properly.

• Replace the battery. If your SPT 1700 terminal still does not
operate, try a soft reset; see

Resetting Your SPT 1700.

Low battery warning after replacing the battery:

• The battery warning message may appear immedi ately after
replacing the battery. In addition, if you check the battery
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 battery.

No sound:

• Check the Soun d options in the General Pref erences scree n. If
the option is set to off, there will be no sound. See the

1700 Product Reference Guide

for more information.

SPT

SPT 1700 terminal turns itself off:

• Your SPT 1700 termina l is designed to turn itself off a fter a pe­riod of inactivity. This period can be set at one minute, two
minutes or three minutes. Check the “Auto-off after” setting
in the General Preferences screen, and change the setting if you
need a longer delay before the automatic shutoff feature acti­vates. See the
formation. The terminal also turns itself o ff when the b att ery
power is extremely low.

SPT 1700 terminal doesn’t recognize my handwriting:

• For your SPT 1700 to recognize handwriting input with the
stylus, yo u ne ed to use the G raffi ti® character strokes. See the

SPT 1700 Product Reference Guide

how to write Graffiti character strokes.

SP T 1700 Prod uct Reference Gu ide

for information about

17

for more in-

SPT 1700 Series

• Make the Graffiti character strokes in the Graffiti writing area
— not on the display part of the screen.

• Make sure you are writing the strokes for letters in the left­hand side, and the strokes for numbers in the right-hand side
of the Graffiti writing area.

• Make sure that Graffiti is not shifted into extended or punc­tuation modes. See the

SP T 1700 Product Refe rence Guide

information about shifting into and out of punctuation
modes.

Tapping the screen buttons or icons does not activate the
corresponding feature:

• Recalibrate the digitizer. Choose Digitizer from the Preferenc­es application pic k list and follow the directions on the scree n.

When I tap the icon, nothing happens:

• Not all applic ations or screens have menus. Try changing to a
different application.

Beamed data does not transmit:

• Confirm that the SP T 1700 terminals are 5” apart, the receiver
has its IRDA capability enabled, and that the path between the
two devices is clear of obsta cles.

for

When receiving beamed data an out of memory message appears:

• Your SPT 1700 termina l requires at le ast twice the amou nt of
memory available as the data you are receiving. For example,
if you are receiv ing a 30K ap plica tion, you must ha ve at lea st
60K free.

Your SPT 1700 unit does not accept scan input:

• Verify that the unit is loa ded with a scan ning appl icatio n. See
your System Administrator.

• Check to be sure the bar code symbol is not defaced.

• Be sure you are within proper scanning range.

18

Quick Reference

• Be sure the unit is programmed to accept the type of bar code
you are scanning.

• If you are expecting a beep on a good decode and don’t hear
one, check that the application is set to generate a beep on
good decode.

• If the scanner stops emitting a laser beam when you press the
trigger, check your battery level. When the battery is low, the
scanner shuts off before the terminal notifies you of the low
battery condition.

Note: If, after performing these checks, the scanner is still not

reading symbols, contact your distributor or Symbol
Technologies.

Radio Frequency Interference Requirements

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device pursuant to Part 15 of the Fe deral Communications Commiss ions Rules and
Regulation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruc tion manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If th e equ ipment does cause harmful interf erence to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by tu rning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interfere nce by one or more of the following measures:

• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that which the
receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
