3. Setup 

When you enter the Setup function, you will be presented with a 
sub-menu: 

p            

  1   T e r m   I D            
    2      D  a t  e  /  T  i m e  

 

 

 

  3   P a s s w o r d          
  4   D e c o d e              
  5   M e m o r y              
 

6      S  t o  c  k      C h a r  

 

 

To select one of the Setup Menu functions, use the 

Õ

 and 

Ö

 arrow keys 

(at the bottom left of the keypad) to move the highlighted bar to the 
required function, then press the 

E1

 (enter) key (at the top of the keypad, 

to the right of the orange scanning button). 

Note that the display is actually only four lines long – it will scroll to 
display other selections when the highlighted bar gets to the top or 
bottom of the screen. 

Term ID 

This section of the Setup Menu allows you to assign a unique terminal 
number to your LaserTraq units, so that after download, you can identify 
which unit data has come from. 

To leave the current Terminal ID as it is, just press the 

E1

 (enter) key to 

return to the Setup Menu, or press the 

MENU

 key to exit to the Main 

Menu. 

To enter a new Terminal ID, use the numeric keys, then press 

E1

 (enter) 

to store the new Terminal ID.  The display will then show a “

Success!

” 

message, and then await a keypress before returning to the Setup Menu.  
The Terminal ID can be set to any number from 

1

 to 

255

Note that the Terminal ID facility is not used in this program. 

Date/Time 

This function allows you to set the LaserTraq’s internal clock/calendar.  
When you enter this function, a highlighted cursor will appear over the 
first digit of the date.  You can use the 

Õ

 and 

Ö

 arrow keys to move the 

highlighted cursor to the numbers you need to change, then use the 
numeric keys to enter new digits.  The cursor will automatically advance 
to the next digit during entry, skipping over the

 /

 and 

:

 separator 

characters.
