Normal Power On Techniques
There are several ways to power on a terminal. Each way lets you resume at the same location
in the application where you left off.
Note: The Series 3800 terminals alwayscheck for enough battery power for
safe operation before they will power on.
Removal From a Cradle
The terminal automatically powers on when it is removed from a cradle. While the terminal
is in the cradle, the battery is constantly being charged. If you remove the terminal from the
cradle but do not use it right away, press the PWR key to turn it off, or let it power off
automatically. Refer to the section Restoring Power After Automatic Shutdown.
Keyboard
Your terminal can be programmed to power on from the keyboard in one of two ways:
!
Press the PWR key only.
! Press any key.
!
If you press the PWR key while the terminal is in the cradle, the terminal powers on.
If you leave the terminal in the cradle and press PWR to turn the terminal off, it
appears to turn off; however, the terminal is on very low power.
See the your application guide or the Series 3000 Application Programmer's Guide for more
information.
Real-Time Clock
If the application program allows it, the terminal can be powered on by the real-time clock.
This lets the terminal perform unattended operations, such as an overnight communication
session.
Laser Trigger
If the application program allows, you can power on the terminal by pulling the laser trigger.
