Worth Data 701 RF manual

The unit won’t power up with batteries (good batteries) but it will power using the Base Station power supply

• Your battery terminals inside the case may be corroded with battery acid or just contamination. Open up the case and clean the battery terminal s with alcohol soaked cloth. Battery acid leaks are not covered by the Worth Data warranty.

8-6

Change to known good batteries, preferably out of a working unit and try again. Some "new" batteries are not good.

•

If the batteries are at a specific low point, the laser triggering or playing a voice message will be just enough extra power draw to force the terminal to cycle power.

•

If the batteries are way low, when turned on, the Terminal will just keep beeping; it is cycling power, over and over because the batteries are too low.

RF Terminal Problems

When laser is triggered, it cycles power by itself – 1st screen When a voice message plays, it cycles power by itself –1stscreen I get black bars on the display when I turn it on

When I turn it on, it just beeps continually.

Windows 95,98,2000,ME, NT; COM port setup should also be changed to turn off XON/XOFF. XON/XOFF is the default for Windows. You set these through the control panel, System, Device Manager, Ports (COM & LPT), COM Port, Port Settings, Flow Control. Set Flow Control to None.

•

If you are using the PICK or UNIX operating systems, be sure you have set the Base Station to be "XON/XOFF Sensitive". You need to do this to prevent the XOFF code being sent as a "Base Initialization" message.

•

Base Station mounted on the wall with the antenna parallel to the floor is the worst position.

To accurately determine the hardware required to cover a particular area, you should use the Site Test mode built in-to the RF Terminal.

I can't communicate with the RS-232 port on my host CPU...

• This is one of the biggest problems called in. If you are not using our cables, check your cables first. If you have an extension cable, remove it for testing. If you have an extension cable of 80 feet or more

attached to a Windows host, you need to be sure certain pins are not attached in the DB9 or DB25. See Appendix C; RF Serial Pin-outs.
