Why is my Symbol Handhelds mobile computer not accepting scan input?
If your Symbol Handhelds mobile computer is not accepting scan input, make sure a scanning application is loaded. Check that the barcode isn't damaged, and that the distance between the exit window and the barcode is correct. Ensure the mobile computer is programmed to accept the type of barcode scanned and to generate a beep on a good decode. Also, check the battery level.
What to do if rechargeable lithium-ion battery did not charge in Symbol Handhelds?
If your Symbol Handhelds rechargeable lithium-ion battery didn't charge, the battery may have failed, so try replacing it. If the mobile computer still doesn't operate, try a warm boot, then a cold boot. Also, ensure that the mobile computer remains in the cradle while charging. A standard battery requires about 3.5 hours, and an extended capacity battery needs about seven hours to fully charge.
Why does my Symbol Handhelds mobile computer keep turning itself off?
If your Symbol Handhelds mobile computer turns itself off, there could be several reasons. It might be due to inactivity, in which case you can adjust the automatic shutoff delay in the Power settings (Start - Settings - System tab - Power icon - Advanced tab). Also, ensure the battery is properly inserted, not depleted, not exhausted, or not in need of recalibration. Recharge or replace the battery if necessary.
