6.5.2.3 Linking an EP10 to a PC
The desktop docking station can be connected to a PC so that you can exchange files in the same way that
you would between PC drives. A USB cable is included with your docking station.
To link the EP10 to a PC:
• Insert the EP10 in the desktop docking station.
• Insert the micro USB connector into the docking station. Attach the other end of the cable to a USB
port on the PC.
6.5.3 Cleaning the RV4000
• Use only mild detergent or soapy water on a slightly damp cloth to clean the RV4000. Avoid abrasive
cleaners, solvents or strong chemicals for cleaning. The plastic case is susceptible to harsh chemicals.
It is partially soluble in oils, mineral spirits and gasoline and slowly decomposes in strong alkaline
solutions.
• To clean ink marks from the label, use isopropyl alcohol.
6.5.4 Troubleshooting
6.5.4.1 Docking Station does not Power On
• When first connected to the DC power supply, the spare charger LED should turn ON and remain on for
3 seconds. If this does not occur, the charger is defective and requires service.
6.5.4.2 EP10 Charge LED Stays Off
When an EP10 is docked into a powered RV4000 and the EP10 charge indicator LED stays off, there may be
a problem with the unit or with the docking station. Use an EP10 with a properly functioning charge indica-
tor to isolate the problem.
6.5.4.3 EP10 Charge LED Flashes Yellow
A flashing yellow EP10 charge LED (the left-most LED on the hand-held) indicates that the battery is not
within the charging temperature range — 0° C and 40° C (32° F to 104° F). Allow the battery to come to an
acceptable range before reinserting the EP10 in the docking station.
6.5.4.4 Dock Battery LED Fast Flashes Red with Spare Battery Inserted
• Your Psion battery and desktop docking station are carefully designed for safety and capacity perform-
ance in accordance with IEEE 1725. If the battery or charger are not Psion approved products, or the
safety mechanism is faulty, the spare charge slot LED or EP10 LED will display solid red.
• Try inserting a battery that has been tested in another charger and is known to work.
• If the spare charge slot LED continues to flash red with the known working battery, the charger is
defective and requires service.
6.5.4.5 Dock Battery LED does not Turn On when Battery is Inserted
• Inspect the charge slot contacts for damage. Are they bent, flattened, twisted or broken?
• Reinstall the battery and check that it is fully seated in the slot.
• Try inserting a battery that you know to be working in the charger slot.
• Disconnect and reconnect the DC adaptor, and check that the spare battery LED indicator flashes
at power-up.
• If the charge slot fails to charge the known working battery, the docking station is defective and
requires service.
Note: For details about data transfer through Windows XP and ActiveSync and through Vista and
Windows 7, refer to “Data Transfer Between the EP10 and a PC” on page 44.
Important: Do not immerse the unit in water. Dampen a soft cloth with mild detergent to wipe
the unit clean.
