How to fix a Motorola MC70 (EDA) that does not turn on?
If your Motorola PDA (EDA) won't turn on, it might be due to a few reasons: the lithium-ion battery may not be charged (charge or replace it), the battery may not be installed properly (install the battery correctly), or the system may have crashed (perform a warm boot; if that doesn't work, perform a cold boot).
Why is my Motorola MC70 PDA (EDA) lithium-ion battery not charging?
If the rechargeable lithium-ion battery in your Motorola PDA (EDA) isn't charging, it could be due to a failed battery (replace the battery; if the EDA still doesn't operate, perform a warm boot, then a cold boot). Another reason could be that the EDA was removed from the cradle while the battery was charging (insert the EDA in the cradle; the standard capacity battery (1900 mAh) fully charges in less than four hours, and the extended capacity battery (3800 mAh) fully charges in less than eight hours).
What to do if tapping icons on my Motorola MC70 (EDA) screen doesn't work?
If tapping the window buttons or icons on your Motorola PDA (EDA) doesn't activate the corresponding feature, it could be because the screen is not calibrated correctly (re-calibrate the screen). Another reason might be that the system is not responding (warm boot the system).
Why does my Motorola MC70 PDA (EDA) keep shutting off?
Your Motorola PDA (EDA) might be shutting off due to inactivity. The EDA turns off after a period of inactivity. If running on battery, set this period from 1 to 5 minutes. If running on external power, set this period to 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes. Check the Power window by selecting Start > Settings > System tab and tapping the Power icon. Select the Advanced tab and change the setting for a longer delay before the automatic shutoff feature activates. Alternatively, the battery may be depleted (replace it) or not inserted properly (insert it correctly).
What to do if my Motorola MC70 PDA (EDA) says the memory is full?
If your Motorola PDA (EDA) displays a message indicating that the memory is full, it could be due to having too many files stored on the device (delete unused memos and records, or save them on a host computer or SD card). It could also be caused by too many applications installed on the EDA (remove user-installed applications to recover memory by going to Start > Settings > System tab and tapping the Remove Programs icon, then select the unused program and tap Remove).
Why won't my Motorola MC70 (EDA) scan bar codes?
If your Motorola PDA (EDA) is not accepting scan input, there are several potential causes: the scanning application may not be loaded, the bar code may be unreadable (ensure the symbol is not defaced), the distance between the exit window and bar code may be incorrect (place the EDA within proper scanning range), the EDA may not be programmed for the bar code (program the EDA to accept the type of bar code being scanned), the EDA may not be programmed to generate a beep (set the application to generate a beep on good decode), or the battery may be low (check the battery level).
Why is data not transmitting correctly on my Motorola MC70 (EDA)?
If no data is transmitted or the transmitted data is incomplete during data communication with your Motorola PDA (EDA), it might be because the EDA was removed from the cradle or disconnected from the host computer during communication (replace the EDA in the cradle, or reattach the communication cable and re-transmit). It can also be due to incorrect cable configuration. Another reason may be that the communication software was incorrectly installed or configured (perform setup).
Why does my Motorola MC70 PDA (EDA) power down to protect memory?
If your Motorola PDA (EDA) keeps powering down to protect memory contents, it's likely because the EDA’s battery is low (recharge the battery). Another reason could be that the radio is powered on for a long time (because this mode requires battery power, power it off when not needed. Using the SetDeviceState() API (refer to the SMDK Help File), set the Bluetooth to D4 power state).
Why is there no sound on my Motorola MC70 (EDA)?
If there is no sound on your Motorola PDA (EDA), the volume setting may be low or turned off (adjust the volume).
Why can't I see anything on my Motorola PDA (EDA) display?
If you cannot see characters on the display of your Motorola PDA (EDA), it may be because the EDA is not powered on (press the Power button).
