Suppport Thread for the TND 500, TND 700 or future Rand McNally products.

In looking at this 720, it does power up on AC. The DC cord will have to be replaced. This was after a generous amount of magic fairy dust was sprinkled on the 720 before I turned it on.

Note for everyone... the 7" does run a HD screen. Make sure you are using a 5vd/2amp DC cord. If you use a 1amp, the screen will go blank, white, lines, or just quit because you are not providing enough current.

(No magic fairy's were harmed in the testing of this 720).

What security setting do you have for the Wi-Fi on your phone?

Not really. This is controlled by an NDA.

Try this. I know about the IPhone if you leave the hotspot screen, the Hotspot drops. I tested with my phone and an app that tests for Wi-Fi signals. If I left the IPhone Hotspot screen and went to the main screen the IPhone Hotspot drops.

You might try this. Leave your phone on the Hotspot screen and see if the 720 stays connected versus going to the main screen on your phone and with the 720 connected..

The encryption supported by the TND720 Wi-Fi card is limited to TKIP. (security mode WPA Personal TKIP, Basic Rate to 801_11b\g compatibility)
