Terminal Stops Responding
This section describes what to do if a VRC 6940 terminal stops responding during a session.
1. Make Sure You are Within Range of an Access Point
If you have moved the terminal during use, make sure you are still within range of an Access
Point (AP). Move back to a previous working location or to a location closer to the AP to see
if it responds. See page 6-5 for information on checking Radio Connection status.
2. Force the Terminal into Suspend
If you are within range of an AP, and the terminal is not responding, force the terminal into
suspend and then restart it using the instructions below. To force the terminal into suspend
without resetting it, press and hold the ON/OFF key for 15 seconds.
