Managing Battery Power

To maximize the life of the battery pack, use these power management features.

Situation

You are operating the terminal and the Battery status icon turns on.

You are not using the terminal for 5 minutes or longer.

You are going to store the terminal for more than a day.

Ways to Save Battery Power

Press Fto turn off the terminal. Remove the battery pack and insert another fully charged battery pack. You must insert another fully charged battery pack within 15 minutes of removing the old battery pack or you may lose data.

Or, if you want to continue using the terminal and you do not have another battery pack, insert the terminal into the powered vehicle dock. The vehicle dock must be connected to an external power supply.

Make sure the Battery status icon is not on. Press Fto turn off the terminal.

Or, use the Automatic Shutoff feature. Automatic shutoff turns off the terminal when there is no activity on the terminal for the length of time you set. For help, see “Automatic Shutoff” in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.

Save your data and end your terminal session to minimize the risk of data loss. Press Fto turn off the terminal. Insert a fully charged battery pack before you store the terminal.

Using the Keypad

The 243X has the following keypad options and overlays:

•57-key alphanumeric keypad

•39-key function numeric keypad

•TE 2000 terminal emulation overlays

The 57-key alphanumeric keypad and the 39-key function numeric keypad are available in U.S. English and International. The International option supports French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Although the keypads are smaller than standard PC or terminal keyboards, you can use special keys to access all the keys and functions that you need.

Both keypad options support overlays for TE 2000 3270, TE 2000 5250, and TE 2000 VT/ANSI. When you order a TE 2000 application, you also receive the appropriate TE 2000 keypad overlay. Each TE 2000 keypad overlay is similar to the standard U.S. English keypad overlay, but it contains additional keys that are available on an IBM 3270, IBM 5250, or VT/ANSI keyboard. For additional help using terminal emulation, see the appropriate TE 2000 manual.
