This is a normal message, generated when you first establish radio contact. If you continue to get this message and it results in a "Transmission Failed" message, your Radios in Base and Terminal are not communicating. Be sure they are on same channel. They may need repair.

Problem is between Host computer and Base station. Check to see if host application is running. Check serial parameters and eliminate any extension cables. Run the Demo program. Try another COM port or another computer.

Problem is in host program. Notify programmer!

If the Base Station receives 5 Sequence Errors in a row, it transmits the message to all terminals signed in and shuts down. Check your host program for the sequence error before starting up again. OR

If the Base Station receives 5 messages addressed to a Terminal not Signed ON, it transmits this message to the all terminals signed in and shuts down.

You will have to cycle power on the Base Station or you can send a command (*@EOT) form the host and have the Terminal Sign On again to continue. See Chapter 6, page 6-8 for more information on Sequence Errors.

Base Station has been reinitialized. If message reads “Base Reinitialized P”, then reinitialization is due to a power problem. If “Base Reinitialized H” then the reinitialization was initiated by the host program. Fix problem (cycle power on Base or re- initialize from host program).

The host program has reinitialized the buffer in the Base Station for this terminal only. The Base is still operational and ready for you to power off your terminal, power on, and SIGN ON again. Other terminals are not affected.

Finish the transaction you have started. The Press F1 to Sign Out. Then turn off the Terminal and change the batteries.

The terminal will display this message for 20 seconds, sign out, and turn off.

Change the batteries immediately. Don’t let someone else pick it up and operate with partially recovered batteries
