Turning a Terminal On/Off
Before you turn on a terminal, you should make sure that there is a charged battery properly
connected to the terminal and that you have put on a properly connected headset.
Turn the terminal on
1. Press the yellow play/pause button on the terminal.
Notes: You will see the LED indicator first turn solid red while the processor
reboots. It then flashes red and green, turns solid, blinks red, then turns solid
green.
When turning on a terminal for the first time after a boot block file (.bbi), a
configuration block file (.cci) or a flash file (.ffi) has been loaded and burned into
the terminal, the LED indicator will blink red for several minutes before flashing
red and green.
When you turn on a terminal, the terminal automatically begins a new data
collection session by taking a background noise sample.
2. The terminal says, "Current operator is (operator name). Please keep quiet for a few
seconds." The terminal then starts a noise sample. After a brief pause, the terminal
says, "Please wait." After another pause, the terminal begins asking questions or
providing instructions according to your site's installation.
To turn off a terminal, perform the following steps:
1. Press and hold the yellow play/pause button on the terminal until the LED indicator
turns red. After a few seconds, the terminal says, "Powering off." The terminal turns
off, and the LED indicator light goes out.
Warnings:
• You must turn off a terminal before you change the battery or you will lose the
data that you have collected. Do not remove the battery until the LED indicator is
off.
• You should not turn off the terminal if the LED indicator is blinking red, unless it
has been blinking red for several minutes. If a terminal is turned off when the LED
indicator is blinking red, the terminal may not be ready to use when it is turned
back on.
Troubleshooting
If the LED indicator does not turn red after holding the yellow play/pause button for more than
5 seconds, stop pressing the button and then try again. If the LED indicator still does not turn
red, there may be a problem with the keypad. Notify your system administrator.
If the LED indicator turns red but the terminal does not turn off after 2 minutes, remove the
battery.
