Troubleshooting
SPT 1700 terminal does not turn on:
• Adjust the contrast control.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and installed properly.
• Replace the battery. If your SPT 1700 terminal still does not
operate, try a soft reset; see
Resetting Your SPT 1700.
Low battery warning after replacing the battery:
• The battery warning message may appear immediately after
replacing the battery. In addition, if you check the battery
gauge in the Applications Launcher
immediately
after replac-
ing the battery, the gauge may start at “empty” and slowly rise
to “full.” This is normal. It takes a minute for the battery
gauge to accurately show the condition of the battery.
No sound:
• Check the Sound options in the General Preferences screen. If
the option is set to off, there will be no sound. See the
SPT
1700 Product Reference Guide
for more information.
SPT 1700 terminal turns itself off:
• Your SPT 1700 terminal is designed to turn itself off after a pe-
riod of inactivity. This period can be set at one minute, two
minutes or three minutes. Check the “Auto-off after” setting
in the General Preferences screen, and change the setting if you
need a longer delay before the automatic shutoff feature acti-
vates. See the
SPT 1700 Product Reference Guide
for more in-
formation. The terminal also turns itself off when the battery
power is extremely low.
SPT 1700 terminal doesn’t recognize my handwriting:
• For your SPT 1700 to recognize handwriting input with the
stylus, you need to use the Graffiti
®
character strokes. See the
SPT 1700 Product Reference Guide
for information about
how to write Graffiti character strokes.
