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.
