Radio Shack PC-2 TRS-80 - Power Management

Turning the Computer OFF
When you're ready to turn the PC-2 OFF, press the (Qffi key. The Display will then clear (be erased).
If the BUSY indicator is on, press BREAK before pressing (Qff) .
When it is turned off, the PC-2 remembers programs, mode settings, Definable Keys, etc. that were being used
when the Computer was turned on. When you turn the Computer back ON, those settings will be displayed and
the program will be in memory.
(The PC-2 forgets only when you remove the batteries without first connecting an external power supply or when
you clear memory!).
Note: You cannot turn the Computer off when the BUSY light is on.
Battery Installation
We suggest you use Radio Shack Type AA Alkaline batteries (Radio Shack Catalog Number 23-552).
To install the batteries:
1. If you wish to preserve the contents of memory, connect the PC-2 to an optional external power supply.
2. Place the PC-2 upside down on a soft, non-abrasive surface (such as a foam rubber pad).
