Your Motorola Handhelds device may not be scanning due to several reasons: the scanning application might not be loaded (verify that the unit is loaded with a scanning application), the bar code may be unreadable (ensure the symbol is not defaced), the distance between the exit window and the bar code may be incorrect (ensure the mobile computer is within proper scanning range), the mobile computer may not be programmed for the bar code (ensure the mobile computer is programmed to accept the type of bar code being scanned), the mobile computer may not be programmed to generate a beep (check that the application is set to generate a beep on good decode), or the battery may be low (check the battery level).
What to do if my Motorola MC909X says memory is full?
If your Motorola Handhelds displays a message stating that the memory is full, it could be due to too many files stored on the mobile computer (delete unused memos and records; you can save these records on the host computer) or too many applications installed on the mobile computer (if you have installed additional applications on the mobile computer, remove them to recover memory; for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices, tap Start > Settings > System tab > Remove Programs icon; for WinCE 5.0 devices, tap Start > Settings > Control Panel > Remove Programs icon; select the unused program and tap Remove).
What does the Motorola MC909X message 'Unable to obtain a server assigned IP address' mean?

Try again later or enter an IP address in Network Settings” on your Motorola Handhelds occurs if a suspend/resume cycle is performed and the mobile computer radio is not associated (e.g. due to being out of range). Tap OK to close the message. The mobile computer will obtain address information and communicate through the ethernet cradle.
Why did the ActiveSync attempt by the Motorola Handhelds fail?
The attempt by the Motorola Handhelds to ActiveSync failed because ActiveSync over an Ethernet connection is not available with Microsoft Mobile 5.0 or Microsoft CE 5.0 and ActiveSync 4.1.
How to connect Motorola MC909X Handhelds to a Bluetooth phone if it remembers the old device?
If, when trying to connect a Bluetooth phone and your Motorola Handhelds, the phone thinks a different mobile computer (that you previously paired with the phone) is being used, it is because the phone remembers the name and address of the mobile computer it last paired with via the Bluetooth radio. Manually delete the pairing device and name from the phone. Refer to the phone’s user documentation for instructions.
