3-2 N_SIGHT R900 User’s Manual for the Neptune Handheld System
whenever the handheld is placed in a communication cradle, its battery
begins recharging, and it is ready to exchange data with the host
computer.
Local and Remote Communications
The configuration previously described is used for local operations,
where the handheld and its communications equipment are directly
connected to the host computer. The cradle can also be used for remote
operations where the handheld and its communications equipment are in
an office remote from the host computer. In this situation, the remote
units are connected through the Internet to the host computer by an
Ethernet cable. After the connection is established, only the software on
the host computer and on the handheld need to be set up to manage a
communications exchange.
Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment
Besides using normal care, you need no special instructions to unpack
the handheld or the equipment that you purchased with it.
Check that you have received all the items
you need for the type of
system configuration t
hat you are using and inspect the items for
shipping damage. If you detect any damage, return the damaged
equipment to Neptune. Instructions for shipping the handheld to
Neptune are given in “Returning your Neptune Handheld System,” on
page 9-28 of this manual.
Save the packing box that was used to ship the handheld. Should you ever
need to ship the handheld, you need to repack the unit in its original shipping
box. The handling involved in land and air transport often subjects the
handheld to impact beyond that which occurs during normal use. The packing
box is designed to absorb shocks and protect the handheld during shipping.
