Battery Life Indicator
The R/F Terminal detects low AA batteries and displays the following message:
LOW BATTERIES
Finish, Sign Off
Change Batteries
Hit Any Key_
At this point you have approximately 2 minutes of operational time to finish
your transaction (or note where you are leaving off if in the middle of a
transaction) and sign off. After 2 minutes, the R/F Terminal will display:
CHANGE BATTERIES
UNIT SHUT DOWN_
This message will display for 20 seconds before the R/F Terminal signs off from
the host (if signed on) and then shuts itself down. If you turn it back on without
changing batteries, you may experience constant beeping, intermittent scanning,
and very irritating symptoms that look like equipment failure.
Once you remove the batteries, you have 5 minutes to change them before you
lose the date and time in the Real-Time Clock.
The R/F Terminal also has a battery life indicator that can be accessed while
operating in ONE-WAY or TWO-WAY mode or while in the MENU. To
display the remaining battery life of the AA batteries (as well as the date and
time) press the STATUS key:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm
AAxBAT-zz%
x=a when Alkaline batteries are specified in Speaker/Battery
setup
x=n when NiMH or NiCad batteries specified in Speaker/Battery
setup
zz=percent in numbers i.e. 99, 10, 05
Press the STATUS key again to resume processing.
To change the AA batteries:
1. Turn OFF the R/F Terminal.
2. Remove the battery holder door on the back of the R/F Terminal by
pressing down on the grooved portion of the door and pushing
outward.
3. Remove the old batteries and insert the new ones, making sure to
orient the batteries according to the diagram inside the battery
holder. The positive (+) end of the battery should be facing down
toward the bottom of the R/F Terminal.
