Key Switch Operation
The key switch is used to turn the TAM-242 on or off for periods when the equipment is not in use
and thus preserve battery life.
Switching On the Terminal
Turn the key switch to the on position. When switching the terminal on, the LED will start to flash 1
second on, 2 seconds off until a position report has been sent or it has timed out (up to 10 minutes).

Note:
If the LED does not switch on as expected there may be a fault. Please refer to
Troubleshooting on page 11 for more information.
Switching Off the Terminal
Turn the key switch to the off position. The LED will switch on for 6 seconds then switch off. The
terminal is now in the off state and will not transmit position reports until switched back on.
