Using the Suspend/Resume Key

The terminal’s Suspend/Resume key is the Fkey on the top left side of the keypad. When you press Fto turn off the terminal, the terminal does not actually shut off but goes into a Suspend mode. In Suspend mode, the terminal continues to power all memory and turns off the power to most of the hardware. This mode is referred to as “off” in the rest of this manual.

When you press Fto turn on the terminal, the terminal either resumes exactly where it was when you turned it off, or the terminal boots and restarts your application. Resume is controlled through the Resume Execution command. For help, see “Resume Execution” in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.

Note: The terminal displays the boot menu the first time you turn it on. At the boot menu, press ￿to initialize the firmware and boot the terminal.
