Getting Started
Note: The NiMH battery pack is sold either in a set with its cover or by itself.
Purchase the set with the cover if this is the first time the battery is
being used.
Charging the EDL Cap
The Electric Double Layer (EDL) cap is an internal “battery” that provides backup power to
maintain data when the batteries are out of the terminal. Charge the terminal for a minimum
of two hours when powering up for the first time, or when the batteries are out of the
terminal for a few minutes or more. There is insufficient backup power to maintain data if
this is not done. There is no indication on the terminal or the cradle when the EDL cap is
charging.
Initializing the PDT 1100
Power on the PDT 1100 by pressing the PW key. If this is the first time the terminal is
powered on, or if it’s being powered on after a complete discharge, one of the following
messages appears:
1. Press the
PW
key while holding down the SF, M1 and 0 keys together to select the
memory area to be initialized. The following screen appears:
• Press 1 then ENT to initialize both the flash ROM (except for its system area)
and RAM. Select this when you first power on the terminal from the time of
purchase.
• Press 2 then ENT to initialize RAM only.
• Press 3 then ENT to initialize the flash ROM (except for its system area).
