5.4 Powering On the Terminal for the First Time
When you connect power to the QTERM-G58 terminal, the unit will remain unpowered until
you press the power button on the keypad. The unit is turned on or off by pressing the power
button. When the unit is powered on, it automatically loads the application saved in flash
memory into RAM memory and executes the application. If no application is present, the
Application Loader banner should appear on the display.
When you power on the terminal for the first time, a demo application (or a special application
custom designed for your company) automatically loads. The demo application will help you
verify that the terminal is operating properly. Follow the on-screen prompts or any documenta-
tion accompanying the program to guide you through tests or demonstrations designed to ver-
ify terminal operation.
Once you have verified that the terminal is functioning properly, refer to Chapter 8, “Power On
Setup” for information on configuring your terminal. The Power On Setup utility includes
functions to do the following:
• Change orientation of the terminal display (portrait or landscape)
• Download a new user application to the terminal
• Select the application mode
• Set up communications settings for the terminal
• Adjust display backlight
• Enter network (Wireless Ethernet) settings
• Enter/change password (if used)
• Set the real-time clock
• Set speaker volume
• Adjust settings for the keypad and keypad backlight (if available)
