Managing Battery Power
To maximize the life of the battery pack, use these power management features.
Situation Ways to Save Battery Power
You are operating the terminal
and the Battery status icon
turns on.
Press
to 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.
You are not using the terminal
for 5 minutes or longer.
Make sure the Battery status icon is not on. Press to 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.
You are going to store the
terminal for more than a day.
Save your data and end your terminal session to minimize the
risk of data loss. Press
to 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.
