R/F Terminal Operation

Using the RF Terminal keypad…

The R/F Terminal is turned on by pressing the green ON/OFF button located in the upper left-hand corner of the R/F Terminal keypad.

The R/F Terminal has a Shut Down Time feature that allows you to determine the length of time the R/F Terminal must be inactive before automatically shutting down to conserve battery power. When the R/F Terminal shuts down, simply press the ON/OFF button to resume operation.

The keypad is custom designed for the R/F Terminal operations. It has numeric and control keys in the non-shifted state, and alpha characters in its shifted state. You can readily determine if the SHIFT is on by the cursor on the display. When SHIFT is on, the cursor is a large black rectangle. When SHIFT is off, the cursor is a narrow underline character. For all prompts which ask for a YES or NO response, the ENTER key, is the YES reply, and the 0 (zero) key is the NO reply. As you key data, you will see each character displayed on the screen. If you make a mistake, you can delete the last character by pressing the DELETE key, or you can clear all characters displayed on the screen by pressing the CLEAR key.

You can order NIMH batteries (L01) from Worth Data along with a 9v recharging Power Supply that recharges the batteries completely within 2 hours. When recharging options are ordered with the Terminals, the Terminal's Batteries Setup parameter is set for recharging "1" which allows the batteries to be recharged under program control. Otherwise, the batteries shipped are alkalines with no recharging options set in the Terminal. However these are changeable by the customer. Using NIMH or alkaline batteries, you should get 24 hours of operation (assuming 1 transaction every 8 seconds).

If you did not order the rechargeable batteries and you change to rechargeables, you must change the Terminal's Setup to Batteries 1 to allow

recharging. If you want to charge the batteries without having to remove them from the Terminal, you must use the Worth Data 9v power supply.

You can safely use alkaline batteries in a terminal set for recharging, providing you don’t plug a power supply into the terminal. Recharging

Alkaline batteries may cause the batteries to explode and leak battery acid throughout the RF Terminal. Battery acid damage is not covered by the

Worth Data warranty because it not deemed to be “normal use”.

If you are using alkaline batteries (either regular or rechargeables) and have selected the Rechargeables setting in the Battery setup parameter (See Chapter 2; RF System Setup), the RF Terminal will generate the following
