Additional Information Part 4: Appendices Additional Information about the QuickLink Pen Updating Software WizCom frequently makes updates available for QuickLink Pen software. These updates may be for the Pen operating system, for the Desktop, or for other Pen components or features. Support for additional languages may also available. It is a good idea to check the WizCom website (http://www.wizcomtech.com) from time to time, to see if any new updates are available.
• Protect your QuickLink Pen from direct sunlight, heat, dampness and dust. Do not drop or knock the device; keep it in its protective plastic case to avoid scratches. ALWAYS put the protective cover on the tip of the Pen when it is not in use. • Clean the Pen only with a soft, dry cloth. Never use a wet cloth or solvents such as benzene or diluting agents. • NEVER clean, wipe or tamper with the Pen tip. It contains a sensitive electronic eye that could become damaged.
Additional Information 124 Backing Up Data It is a good idea to back up data on your Pen by quicklinking it to the Desktop (see p. 79), and back up data you have quicklinked on a diskette. This will ensure no data is lost if you have an unexpected problem with your Pen or computer. The data on the Desktop can usually be found in C:\Program Files\QuickLink Desktop\PenData\MyPen, where MyPen is the name of your Pen.

Troubleshooting • • • • Low power consumption Compliant with FCC class B Compliant with CE standards UL listed QuickLink Desktop Requirements • • • Windows 95/98/ME or Windows NT 16 MB RAM or higher Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, 4.0 or higher, for synchronizing Internet Links Troubleshooting The following are suggested solutions for problems that may arise when you use your QuickLink Pen.
Troubleshooting Solution: Hold down 3 and press 1. The Pen should turn on and display the Main Menu. To prevent this problem from recurring: • If you have any large Notes or Tables files stored on the Pen, quicklink them to your computer (see p. 79) and flush them from the Pen (see p. 84). • Adjust the auto shut-off time selected on your Pen to a longer time (see p. 89). • Avoid creating large Notes or Tables files; store the data in a number of smaller files instead.
Troubleshooting 128 Solution: Move the Pen away from the strong light source (such as sun, lamp, etc.) shining directly on the tip. Memory Problem: The Pen displays an “Out of Memory” warning. Solution: • Remove the battery compartment cover and check whether the flash memory card is loose (see illustration, p. 10). If it is, press down firmly on the card with your finger, or lift it out of the compartment entirely and then press it firmly back into place.
Troubleshooting displays a message saying that the flash memory is full. Solution: The flash memory of the Pen must be reformatted. Pen components that were in the flash memory will be deleted in the process and must be copied onto the Pen again. Pen components that were on the ROM will remain, but may need to be updated. The data that was on the Pen may also be deleted. To reformat the Pen: 1. Turn on the Pen. While the “Flash format error” message is displayed, press 3.
Troubleshooting • Make sure that Pen communications are on (see p. 109). • Make sure that either Scan to PC (see p. 75), QuickLink (see p. 79), or PC-Controlled Communications (see p. 86), is selected on the Pen. • Run the Communications Wizard (see p. 110). • Make sure that the QuickLink communications cable or external infrared device is attached properly to both the QuickLink Pen and computer (see p. 20).
Troubleshooting Problem: The computer is unable to communicate with the QuickLink Pen because it cannot access the serial port. Solutions: • Close other applications that are using the port. Some of these may have icons in the System Tray. Try closing these applications first. If the Palm Pilot Desktop icon is in the System Tray, begin by closing that application. If you are using a laptop, and infrared communications are enabled, try disabling them. • There may be a hardware conflict.
Troubleshooting computer with the communications cable connected: Windows runs the mouse driver when it starts up, and this prevents the Pen from accessing the port. To solve this problem, uninstall the mouse drivers you are no longer using on this port. Booting your computer without the cable attached may temporarily solve this problem. If these techniques do not solve the problem: • Run the Communications Wizard (see p. 110). If this doesn’t help: • Restart the Desktop.
Problem: The bar that indicates how much progress has been made in the compaction process freezes on the screen at 100% during an update. Solution: If the display has been frozen for more than about 10 seconds, press 2 to continue the update process. Troubleshooting Pen display during an update, and the display remains frozen with this message on it. Solution: Press 2 to continue the update process.
Contact Us Solution: You updated your Pen but continue to use an older version of the Desktop. Update the Desktop by downloading the latest version from the WizCom website and installing it on your computer. Problem: The Desktop window opens, but remains frozen. An hourglass is displayed instead of the normal mouse pointer. Solution: There may be an Interrupt conflict with another device. See p. 131 for information about dealing with hardware conflicts of this sort.
