211 Troubleshooting
into place when you press the end in gently, the latch mechanism may be
‘locked’. This usually happens if you pull the pen out of the MC 218, without
first pushing the pen in so that it 'clicks' and unlocks the latch.
To ‘unlock’ the latch mechanism, first try the following steps:
1. Push the pen in until it meets resistance, then gently apply pressure to the
end of the pen.
2. Release pressure from the pen when you hear the latch mechanism ‘click’.
The pen should now ‘click’ into place without any more problems.
If these steps didn't fix the problem, you can try using the alternative method
below, or contact your local authorised Ericsson service centre.
To use an alternative method to unlock the latch mechanism:
1. Open the cover of the RS232 serial port at the rear of your MC 218.
2. Look at the serial port carefully; you will notice that there is a very narrow
gap directly underneath the RS232 motif (below the serial connector), and
above the curved thumbnail groove.
3. GENTLY insert a thin, non-metallic item into the gap, e.g. your thumbnail,
or the corner of a plastic card (do not use a credit card or bank card in case
you damage them). DO NOT apply excessive pressure.
4. You should hear a ‘click’ when you unlock the pen mechanism. The pen
should now ‘click’ into place without any more problems.
If neither of these methods solve the problem, contact your local authorised
Ericsson service centre.
If you can’t connect your cable
If you are having difficulty connecting the cable to your MC 218, you may be
attempting to insert the connector upside down. Make sure that the RS232
motif is facing down when you insert the connector. You should not have to
apply force when inserting the connector into the port on your MC 218.
