209 Troubleshooting
save an open file to a Memory disk.
Files saved on the disk drive and open programs both use memory. So, if the
memory is nearly full, you should be able to free some memory by closing
some programs. Close the program using the program's Close command, or
select List open files from the File menu on the Desktop to check which
programs are running. Close the programs or files that you do not need to have
open at the moment.
You can also delete any unwanted files from the Desktop, or move files to a
CompactFlash disk to free more memory. You can also remove programs
using Add/remove in the Control panel. Programs can also be installed on a
CompactFlash disk to save memory on the internal disk.
An alarm sound didn’t ring. Why?
• If the alarm sounds like beeps, your batteries are too low to play the alarm
sound you have chosen. See “Managing Power” in the “Customizing the
MC 218” chapter for more help.
• It may also be that the Sound is off so that the alarm screen is displayed
but the sound is inaudible. The alarm screen shows whether the sound is
off or silenced for a particular period. Use the Sound icon from the Control
panel on the Desktop to switch the sound back on again.
• If an alarm is due to ring while you are recording another sound, the alarm
is postponed until you have finished your recording.
World times are not correct in the Time program. Why?
This is likely to be because of daylight saving, or summer time settings (where
clocks are put forward for the summer months).
The dates when clocks are due to change vary from country to country, and
sometimes even within a country. Some countries do not use summer times at
all. Therefore, the MC 218 clock does not change automatically on the date
that the clocks change. You will need to make sure that each zone is set to use
its ‘summer time’ setting when the clocks change in those countries.
I can’t connect to my PC for synchronization. Why?
Check the PC docking cable connection between your PC COM port and the
MC 218 serial port. If the connections were loose, restart your PC.
MC 218
On the Tools menu in Desktop, ensure that Remote Link is set to Cable (or
Infrared where appropriate).
The MC 218 must be turned on and, if used, your MC 218 password must be
entered for your Ericsson communication to commence.
