TROUBLESHOOT
Below are a few problems that you may encounter during the use of your URANUS SY‐Z97BM8 tablet. Please read the
following guide carefully. However if a major problem has been encountered with the device, please contact Sytech Service
Centre for further assistance.
The device does not turn on
Make sure that the battery has some charge which is sufficient for the device to turn on. If after having the device fully
charged the problem still persists, please contact Sytech Service Centre for further assistance.
Some MP3 files do not work on the URANUS SY-Z97BM8.
The MP3 file must respect the layer 3 rules of MPEG1, MPEG2 and MPEG 2.5. Alternatively the file must be converted using
special software.
Some WMA files do not work on the URANUS SY-Z97BM8.
Some WMA files may be protected with DRM rights which do not permit the file to be played on the device.
Some Music, Video and Image formats do not work on the device.
Your URANUS SY‐Z97BM8 supports many different types of formats. However the ability to playback different formats also
depends on the application being used. If for some reason one format cannot be played, please search for another
application which is able to support the format required.
Some Apps do not work on the device after downloading and installing.
Due to the different configurations of all the hardware’s available, not all the applications will work in all the tablets. If an
App doesn’t work on your tablet, please contact the application developer for further information.
I connect the tablet to the PC but the PC does not recognize it.
You have to disable the USB debug mode from your settings menu. The PC will then be able to detect the hardware
connected to it. On the tablet you will see a screen asking if you want to turn on usb storage mode.
25
I upgraded the firmware and I want to retrieve my data back on the tablet.
Sytech recommends the end user to perform a complete backup of the tablet before upgrading the firmware. If the backup
has not been done and the firmware upgrade has taken place, it is not possible to retrieve all the data lost.
Is it possible to use 3G modems on SYTECH TABLETS?
Depending on each tablet, you may or may not use any USB 3G modems. For the tablets that have a USB HOST port, you
may use any USB 3G modem with Wi‐Fi access.
Make sure your Wi-Fi is working well.
If the Wi‐Fi doesn’t connect for any reason to the available network, and other devices, such as your personal laptop, cell
phone etc it does connect; try changing around the security and encryption standards ‐ WEP, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, and AES.
One other possible problem could be the channels of the router. Change them around and configure it in different ways,
however if it still does not work, you maybe having IP conflicts or experiencing a weak internet signal. Please contact your
internet provider for further assistance.
You will be unable to download applications or use some applications properly without a proper internet connection.
Please always make sure that the Wi‐Fi is working properly.
My URANUS SY-Z97BM8 battery charge level runs out very quickly / Works very slowly from the first time I got it
In order to preserve the battery charge for the longest time possible, always make sure that not too many applications are
running in the background. However you may end these applications using the Task Killer application which has been pre‐
installed. E‐mail also uses up a large portion of the battery level. It is recommended to change e‐mail settings so that it
checks for mail once every hour instead of once every 10 minutes. When the internet is not needed, it is recommended to
turn off the Wi‐Fi so that the battery charge can last longer. The same applies with the brightness, set it to a medium/low
level to conserve the battery charge. Having it on 100% bright mode means that the battery charge will drain out quickly.
All the above will also help your tablet to process tasks and applications quicker, therefore avoiding it to work slowly.
My URANUS SY-Z97BM8 froze
In order to unfreeze the device you may perform a soft reset. With the aid of a thin sharp object, insert it into the pinhole
button on the back of the unit to restart it. The unit will then shut down first and restart after a few minutes.
