Wireless problems
The signal strength is weak.
You can monitor the transmission signal strength using the
Signal Strength bar graph and text message on the Wireless
Preferences screen. See Monitoring the transmission signal
in Chapter 4 for more information. Monitor the signal strength
while you try the following solutions:
Move away from your original location, five to ten feet in
any direction.
If youre indoors, stand near a window, or move outdoors.
Open metal blinds on windows.
If youre in an underground parking lot or other space
below street level, move to a location above ground.
If youre in a crowd, move to a less crowded area.
If youre in a vehicle, keep your handheld level with the
windshield. The metal frame of the vehicle shields radio
signals. Mountains and buildings may also block signals.
If youre outdoors, move away from overhead electrical wires.
Move from under trees.
I cant access the network.
Make sure your handheld is activated.
Check the battery icon to verify the battery is charged. See
Step 2: Charge your handheld in Chapter 1.
Make sure the radio is on and within range by verifying the
indicator light is flashing green. See Using the indicator
light in Chapter 4.
Verify that the signal strength indicator on the radio panel
shows a strong signal. See Monitoring the transmission
signal in Chapter 4.
The network may be down. Try again later.
