Commonly Asked Questions 85
I just inserted a fresh battery, but it only lasted 2
days. Why?
When your Timeport P930 Two-Way Pager is set to two-way
transmission but is not receiving Full Service (i.e., you are out of
range), the pager continues to attempt to reestablish communica-
tion with the network. This acts as a continuous drain on the
battery. Whenever you leave a two-way coverage zone, set the radio
mode to One-way or Off to preserve the battery.
I haven’t used my pager in two months. When I
place the unit in the charger, I get a flashing red
light. Do I need a new battery?
Your battery is hyper-drained and it needs to be reconditioned.
1. Place the battery in the docking station. The light will blink red.
2. Let the battery sit overnight.
3. If the light is still flashing red in the morning, remove the
battery and put it back into the charger.
4. Repeat procedure until the light goes green. If after three
attempts the battery doesn’t charge to green, the battery can-
not be reconditioned and must be replaced.
FLEX PC Partner
Why can’t I establish a connection between my
pager and my PC via the infrared interface?
Check the following before re-attempting to establish a connection:
• Make sure you have opened the FLEX PC Partner application
on your pager and selected to get the Connect Status
screen.
• Make sure your pager is placed properly in the docking station
and that the RS232 cable and transformer are properly con-
nected. For more information see “ To connect the docking sta-
tion to your computer:” on page 18.
• Make sure the communications port on your PC is correctly
set. For more information, see “ To configure FLEX PC Part-
ner:” on page 57.
What caused my application installation to fail?
The pager may be in a Low RAM status or you may be attempting
to load an application that is close in size to the available RAM.
Remove the pager from the charger. Reset the pager by turning it
off then back on again. Run the installation program again.
