terminal closer to the Wi-Fi access point to see if the terminal connects. If it connects when the terminal
is relocated, then either another Wi-Fi access point needs to be added to the network or the existing
access point needs to be relocated to support good Wi-Fi coverage for the terminal location.
2.43 The terminal has intermitted Wi-Fi connectivity.
If the terminal has intermitted Wi-Fi connectivity, verify the terminal has good Wi-Fi coverage. If the
coverage is good in all places the terminal is used, then please check the Wi-Fi access point channel to
see if it competes with other Wi-Fi access points nearby using the same channel. If there are other Wi-Fi
access points nearby with the same channel, then changing to a channel not used by any of the nearby
access points will help minimize dropped connections. If the coverage is not good, then try relocating
the terminal or access point for better coverage. Another step is to turn off the power to the access
point and the terminal for about 3 minutes and then turn back on the power. Also, check to see if power
to the Wi-Fi access point is not interrupted. If the access point is using a switched power source, please
consider a power source that is always on. Some equipment such as microwave ovens and curling irons
can impact Wi-Fi coverage.
2.44 Why can’t I load my application onto the E500?
Verify that the application you are trying to load is signed. Unsigned applications cannot run on the
Android tablet.
2.45 How can I secure the E500?
You have the option to use a cable lock to secure the terminal. Insert a customer-provided cable lock
into the K-Slot® on the terminal and loop the cable around a permanent object to secure in place.
Note: The K-Slot is not metal reinforced.
