Motorola 2000X quick start Flex PC Partner

I just inserted a fresh battery, but it only lasted 2 days. Why?

When your PageWriter 2000X smart pager is set to two-way transmission but is not receiving Full Service (i.e., you are out of range), the pager continues to attempt to reestablish communication with the network. This acts as a continuous drain on the battery. Whenever you leave a two-way coverage zone, set 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, remove 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.

Why can’t I establish a connection between my pager and my PC via the infrared interface?

Check the following before re-attempting to establish a connection:

∙Make sure you have opened the FLEX PC Partner

application on your pager and selected to get the Connect Status screen.

∙Make sure your pager is placed properly in the docking station and that the RS232 cable and transformer are properly connected. For more information see “To connect the docking station to your computer” on page 16.

∙Make sure the communications port on your PC is correctly set. For more information, see “To configure FLEX PC Partner” on page 53.
