Troubleshooting

198

Ad Hoc Application

Symptom

Cause or corrective action

Online users near you

are not displayed in

your Ad Hoc Contact

List.



There are no online users near you whose Personal

Communicators are in Ad Hoc mode.



If the unit does not turn on the wireless LAN, or

does not appear on the status bar of the display, slide

and hold down the WIRELESS LAN switch to

disconnect the unit from wireless network, and then

connect to wireless network again.



You tried to communicate with a device other than a

Personal Communicator. You can communicate with

only other Personal Communicators in Ad Hoc mode.



Obstacles such as wall, metal, or concrete between

the unit and the wireless network may adversely

affect the connection. Try moving the unit to a

different location.



If there is other equipment nearby using the 2.4 GHz

frequency band (such as a cordless phone, a

microwave oven, or Bluetooth computer equipment),

move the equipment away or turn it off.

A Personal

Communicator

disappears from your

Ad Hoc Contact List.



An online user near you may quit the Ad Hoc

Application or may turn off his or her unit.



Turn off the wireless LAN, and then turn on the

wireless LAN again.

Music Streaming is

interrupted while you

are listening to music

from a friend’s

Personal

Communicator.



If a friend attempts to listen to music on your unit

while you listen to music on his or her Personal

Communicator, playback of music that you are

listening to stops.



Music streaming may be interrupted by changes in

radio conditions, such as an obstacle being placed

between the Personal Communicators or a device

using the 2.4 GHz frequency band (such as a

cordless phone, a microwave oven, or Bluetooth

computer equipment) being turned on.

A friend cannot listen

to music wirelessly

from your Personal

Communicator.



To stream music to other Personal Communicators,

select a playlist to be shared in “Select Shared

Music” on the Tools menu (



page 175).

The timing of music

being streamed to

another Personal

Communicator and

the timing of music

playing on your unit

are not synchronized.



Depending on the network conditions, the timing of

the music streamed to another unit may be slightly

shifted, and synchronization with the timing of the

music playing on your unit may not be exact.
