necessary. If the load was terminated prematurely, reset the interline
and intercharacter delays to zero, and reload the software.
The terminal displays

the download is completed. The terminal has not been reset to 9600 baud. Reset the terminal
any time after loading the new software. After changing the
terminal baud rate, press
Return to display the prompt (>).
Two or more LEDs are
