Two Power Modes

Your NCD ThinSTAR 300 terminal has a power switch in the back, and an on/off button in the front. When the power switch is on, you can turn off the terminal by pressing the on/off button in the front. To re-start your terminal, simply press the button on the front of the terminal again.

Initial Start-Up

For initial start-up, switch the power on in the back of the terminal and turn on the monitor. The NCD ThinSTAR 300 and Microsoft Powered by Windows CE logos display, a chime sounds, and the screen briefly goes blank. What happens next depends on how your terminal is configured.

The terminal displays one of the panels shown on the next page. The most common initial display panels are shown. If your display differs, see Chapter 3 or your system administrator.
