Useful Operation Hints
Tablet Features:
Some tablet PCs will have a feature whereby holding down the stylus acts like a right mouse click. You may want to turn
this feature off, as scrolling can be difficult. Please refer to your specific tablet PC operating manual for details.
Connection Problems:
Try experimenting with the location of the PC relative to the Wiser – sometimes the case of the computer can shield the
radio link. Also, try to ensure that the Wiser is not too close to the computer, or the radio link may saturate (overload).
6 feet (~2m) is a recommended minimum.
Check the Netgear and Windows Network icons in the system tray on the task bar – if there appears to be a problem,
double click on the Netgear icon to display the Netgear Wireless interface. Please refer to page 56 for detailed
instructions of how to check/re-establish a connection. Note that it can take anywhere between 1 to 3 minutes for a
network link to become available again. This is outside XTA’s control, so please be patient!
Moving radio links are more likely to lose connections than stationary ones, so if the link appears to be dropping out, try to
minimise movement until the link is re-established.
Computer Problems:
Please ensure all power-saving features are disabled on your computer.

Depending on the version of Windows you are using, select power as ‘Always
On’, ensuring that the system never goes into stand-by.
Note that stand-by operation can also be enabled through the ‘Alarms’ tab (on a
laptop/tablet, used for low battery situations). Set the ‘Actions’ to be either ‘Do
Nothing’ or ‘Shut Down’. There is a known problem with Windows concerning
computers coming out of stand-by and subsequent communication with
peripheral devices (i.e. the Netgear card).
The latest driver for the Netgear card is always available from
www.netgear.com
AudioCore:
AudioCore will warn you if the radio link is lost during editing – this is to prevent accidental continuation of editing. The
quickest way to go back on-line after this is to press the ‘Refresh’ button - this bypasses the need to scan for connected
units etc.
Any changes to network or wireless settings may require AudioCore or even Windows to be restarted.
