Top 20 Symbol PDT 6846 Portable Terminal Questions & Answers

Hi Contact Motorola Solutions Get Support or Zebra Technologies Support Downloads. They aren't helping on FixYa yet so it is best to reach out directly. Mark Motorola Mobility Support

this is a cars and trucks forum

it depends on the type of imager - sounds to me like you have the red dot/green dot scan engine. Its not possible to change it back

is it on boot craig?

Hi there,
This could happen if:

• PDT6846 is operating with battery at less than nominal charge level (lower than normal power output).
• Possible defective radio card.
  The PDT6846 configuration is not the issue here, as the unit will associate once within range of the access point. If the PDT6846 fails to connect when roaming out of the primary access point range, and relocates to an adjoining access point's cell, this problem is indicative of either an internally defective RF card or simply a weak signal output from the PDT6846 due in large part to a weak battery.
  
  
  1. Verify PDT6846 is operating with a fully charged battery.
  1. Warm boot PDT6846 to reestablish radio association.

  If problem persists, the PDT6846 requires repair attention specific to the internal radio card.
  

  
  
  

  
  
  

  Thanks!
  

is there no message on the scanner absolutely?

there is software on this unit that needs to loaded by the client server software from symbol. I been in the retial operations for a while and these things happend when the battery gets so darn low that the memory on these units seem to corupt the files. Now symbol is the best bet to get the software reloaded and will be your solution today.

There is really nothing you cannot do without the unlisted help of symbol as the software needs to be reloaded on this unit as a fix. Now lets say it does not take the software for some odd strange reason. then you need to have the hardware looked at. Now repair of these units are $150 respectively as far as hardware failure goes. But call symbol and ask them about the software reload I am talking about. Now the unit should have cable with a cradle to dock with the server to upload and download data in this case that is what needs to be done.

Thanks i sure hope this information finds the accept button as I did put a lot of effort into my knowledge to earn that. Thanks and Good luck! Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

To configure the terminal Ctrl-C to drop you to a DOS prompt then type cfg11 this will then take you a configuration screen where you can enter wireless and IP settings.

I can’t say about what program you are trying to load. If you get the system to associate then the next step is to configure the host settings.

FUNC-CTL-R at the Connect to Host screen

Password: system

Then you can add host settings.

It’s a shame we fix PDT6846's all the time and if we replace the board reconfigure them for the customer.

Yes...there are lots of things you need to tweak. Contact Motorola Support (they bought Symbol) at 1-800-653-5350. You may need to create a script to run with the CISCO AP's...Symbol defaults to their own Access Point settings. Good Luck. If you need further help, our company, qdata, can help (for a fee)

you can get it from www.wavelink.com they are quite good and still offer the files for the older terminals. however, you may need to get a license from them in order to use it on the pdt.

This sounds like a programming issue. What application are you using? If you are using a terminal emulation software then you will need to check your host for the issue. If you are using a batch program where the files are stored on the scanner then you will need to check your "validation" files to make sure the code you are scanning is in the scanner.

You may need to reload your terminal.
