Guralp Systems Shout - Manual (Page 14)

4 Notes
4.1 Battery life
Shout uses a considerable amount of battery power, as unlike most Palm applications it is not often
idle as it has to process and store the incoming blocks. The auto-off timer is reset every time a valid
block is received. If you leave your Palm connected to a system your batteries will flatten until the low
battery safety-off feature of the Palm Pilot is activated.
4.2 Cannot open link
Occasionally Shout can’t connect to a device because the link is con-
gested or the device has not finished rebooting. Click on retry to retry
the connection. This error can also be caused when a device has had its
ID changed but has not yet been rebooted (this can happen, for example,
due to an error in a multiset macro). While in this state the device emits
streams with names that don’t match the device ID. If this is the case
the simplest way to fix the situation is to manually reboot the device
either using a terminal emulator or by power cycling it.
