      The Motorola MC75A might be shutting off to protect memory contents because its battery is low. Try recharging the battery. Also, the internal Bluetooth radio, if powered on for a long time, can drain the battery. Power it off when not needed by using the SetDeviceState() API to set the Bluetooth to D4 power state.

    • K
      Kevin SuttonAug 28, 2025
      The Motorola MC75A PDA might shut off because it is inactive. If the MC75A is running on battery power, set the inactivity period from 1 to 5 minutes, in one-minute intervals. 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. The battery might not be inserted properly. Insert the battery properly. The battery might also be depleted, so replace the battery.
