SECTION 3 - BASIC OPERATION
The Basic Operation of the Model 16 Alphanumeric Paging Terminal can be
divided into three sections, the first to describe the overall operation of
the unit, including Connect, Disconnect, and Paging Transmission, and one
to address both of the basic Paging modes. The Programming mode is
discussed separately in Section 4.

POWER UP
Several things happen when power is applied to the Model 16. First of all
the "Power" LED on the front panel will light. The PTT relay will be in the
normally closed position, and the Request to Transmit output will be off.
The Model 16 will perform a verification test on the 'battery backed
programming memory' and reinitialize it, if necessary. At the completion of
Power Up, a Startup Message is displayed on the screen of any CRT or
terminal that may be connected to the serial computer port.

RESET
The Reset operation is performed every time that the Model 16 powers up, or
whenever a low power condition is detected such as might occur during a
"brown out". Reset involves initializing all the hardware and then
performing software initialization. When a Reset occurs, the Model 16
clears its Paging Batch buffers, the Startup Message is displayed, and the
Paging Terminal enters the Idle state.
