You can quickly solve most problems that you encounter with the RC9800i by following the advice in this chapter.

RC9800i device

My RC9800i switches off automatically

If your RC9800i is not being used, it will switch to standby mode. To wake the RC9800i, see ‘Everyday Use’ on page 6.

You can set the amount of time the RC9800i waits before going into sleep mode. For further information, see Power Settings on page 42.

My RC9800i doesn’t respond

When the battery is running empty, your RC9800i may not respond anymore. You should then recharge it, see ‘Charging the RC9800i’ on page 8.

If after recharging your device still does not respond, you may have to reset it. Under normal circumstances you’ll never have to reset the RC9800i. However on rare occasions, if the touch screen freezes or if you notice unusual behavior, you may need to perform a reset. Switch the On/Off Switch off and, after a few seconds, on again. The Homepage will appear. The On/Off Switch is located at the backside of the RC9800i, see page 6.

The soft buttons on my touch screen do not respond properly
