The GPS application cannot find my location.
• Make sure that GPS is switched on in HotTab.
• Make sure that the GPS receiver and location sensor have
been enabled in the control panel.
• The tablet may be outside the reception range. Move the
tablet into the open or closer to a window.
• Check whether microwave ovens, cordless phones, or
similar devices are causing interference in your vicinity.
Move the tablet away from interference-causing devices.
• Adjust the volume on the tablet by pressing the volume
rocker.
• When using an external audio device, make sure that the
cable has been connected correctly.
I cannot project the tablet display onto another screen.
• Make sure that the VGA driver is installed.
• Make sure that the selected output setting is correct.
The barcode reader is not emitting a laser beam and doesn't
appear to be working.
• Make sure that the barcode reader has been switched on
in the HotTab service program.
The barcode reader is emitting a laser beam but does not
read the barcode presented to it.
• Change the distance between the barcode reader of the
device and the barcode to be scanned.
• Make sure that the barcode type has been enabled on
the tablet. To learn how to enable or disable a specific
barcode type, read the "Configuration of the barcode
reader" section.
I have a problem with the GPS accuracy.
• When the GPS function is used, we recommend disabling
the barcode reader in HotTab to reduce interference.
Battery is leaking or swollen
• The lithium battery used in this tablet can swell after
many charges/discharges, but this does not pose a safety
problem.
• Continued use in this state may lead to the battery be-
coming jammed. For this reason, you should no longer
use the battery and purchase a new one.
