steps may be required to correct the interference.
For Germany
Electromagnetic Interference Regulations
This equipment was tested in a typical system configuration and meets the General License
requirements in Germany (FTZ 1046/84). As a proof of compliance it carries the VDE
Radio Protection Mark with the index 0871-B/P for peripherals.
If this equipment is to be operated with a system,
• and if the General License is being claimed, the complete system has to comply with the
General licensing requirements.
• which has its own FTZ-Serial-License, and for which an operating license has been

Ergonomic Statement
This product has been tested in accordance with the requirements of the Equipment Safety
Law and carries the GS Safety Mark.
The following characteristics:
• ZH 1/618 Font Set
• Refresh Rate
• Positive and Negative Polarity
• Column Width
may be software influenced. Therefore, it was only possible to verify the basic capabilities of
these ergonomic requirements.
The user will have to assure that the characteristics stated above meet with the

Installation 1·1

Choosing a Site for Your Terminal
Place the terminal on a hard, level surface such as a desk, table or stand designed for
this purpose.
CAUTION
Do not place objects on top of the display unit, as this blocks the
unit's air vents.
Keyboard Cable
To connect the keyboard cable to the keyboard:
1. Unwrap the cable. Take the longest flat portion of the cable and plug the connector
into the jack at the rear of the keyboard (recessed in the center back).
2. Route the cable to the right or left as desired. Tuck the flat portion of the cable un-
der the cable channel protector at the rear of the keyboard. Direct the cable through
the slot at the end of the cable channel.

Terminal Keyboard Connection
One end of the keyboard cable is connected to the keyboard as described earlier in this
chapter. Connect the other end to the terminal's rear panel. The connector clicks into
place when installed correctly.
Datacomm Connection
The Datacomm cable is the link from your terminal to a host computer. In its standard
configuration, the terminal communicates with a computer through Port 1 over an
RS232C datacomm cable.
To connect the datacomm cable to your terminal, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the RS232C connector into the socket provided in po11 1on the terminal. The
connector shell is shaped so that it fits onto the socket in the correct position.
2. After fully inserting the connector into the socket on the terminal, tighten the two
screws that secure the connection.
Installation 1 ·3

NOTE
If you use Port 2 for your datacomm connection. be sure to
configure your terminal properly (see Chapter 2).
Printer Connection
Port 2 provides a standard RS232C connector for connecting a printer. To connect a
printer cable to Port 2, follow the instructions for connecting a datacomm cable (the
connectors are the same in both cases). Remember, if you use Port 2 as your datacomm
rather than Port 1, be sure to configure the terminal appropriately.
Power Cable Connection
An appropriate power cable is supplied with your terminal.
WARNING
Turn the terminal off before applying power. The power
button on the front lower left-hand corner of the terminal
is flush with the front panel when the terminal is off (see
Figure 1-4). Also, for your safety, use only power cords with
a 3-prong connector.
Insert one end of the power cord into the AC socket on the back of the terminal. Then
plug the 3-prong connector on the other end of the cable into an electrical outlet.
Terminal Controls
To tum on the terminal, make sure it is connected to a power source. Press the power
button shown in Figure 1-4. The button remains depressed in the ON position.

I) Power 2) Brightness 3) Contrast
When the terminal turns on, its bell sounds twice. After approximately 10 seconds,
when the terminal has successfully performed its power-on self-test, the bell sounds
a third time.
Use the brightness and contrast slide controls (under the right-front corner of the
terminal) to adjust the display for comfortable viewing.
The terminal is now ready for use. If the terminal does not power on as described,
refer to Chapter 6 for troubleshooting procedures.
NOTE
The display unit is equipped with a circular base that swivels
180 degrees. Be sure that the base is centered properly (so that
you can tum the display 90 degrees to the left or right).

Terminal Configuration
Introduction
Most of the time your terminal is used online with a host computer. Data entered at the
keyboard is sent to a computer for processing, and data from the computer is displayed
on the screen and/or sent to an external printer.
The terminal must be configured to operate correctly. This chapter shows the
configuration menus available (except for ANSI configuration, which is described in
Chapter 5). Consult your Data Processing department or your system documentation for
the terminal configuration parameter values required for your application.
Selecting Operating Modes
The terminal can be operated in several modes when connected to a computer. These
modes are described in the following paragraphs. Press I Systcni], then 1111!11 to display the
MODES labels, then proceed with your selections.
Remote Mode
Press ldl+!Ulldl1!nl to activate remote mode, allowing your terminal to communicate with
your host computer. When Remote Mode is activated, an asterisk appears in the label
1u1+1g11mg1111.
Block Mode
ll!@lffl!lllll selects whether data is sent to the computer in blocks of characters (Block
Mode) or character-by-character as they are typed (Character Mode). (In Block Mode,
pressing I Enter I sends the data to the computer.)
Choose the mode required for your application. When Block Mode is active, an asterisk
appears in the label l=il@l1jW1ll. When Character Mode is selected the asterisk is removed.
Terminal Configuration 2·1

Auto LF
llUDI selects whether or not a line feed is generated when the I Return l key is pressed.
When you select automatic line feed, an asterisk appears in the label IViiJ!I. If your te1~
minal is communicating with a computer in character mode. automatic line feed should
normally be deactivated.
Making Menu Selections
The procedure for making selections from any of the menus is essentially the same.
Once you have displayed the menu you want, follow these steps:
• Press CTill repeatedly until the cursor is in the field containing the setting you want to
change.
• Press ll!llH!(1!!Hi or lmM!li!Mlpi!NI to cycle through predefined selections in a menu field
until the selection you want is displayed in the field. For a menu field with no
predefined values, type in your selection directly.
Saving Your Selections
• Press Ml\lllll!l!l!ll to save and activate your selections and return to normal operation.
NOTE
Pressing 11111111 before saving settings restores the previously
displayed values, exits the menu and returns the M!tiMM labels to
the screen.
More Selection Options
While a menu is displayed on the screen, you can:
• Press i1llt•!!lllU.jljl ..1 to display the default settings (the factory-set values stored in
memory).
• Press to display the settings that are active when you tum the tenninal
on (these are either settings you've already saved in memory. or the default settings).
• Press UfflNlltHll.,1 to recall currently active menu settings. A program from a host com-
puter can change current menu settings. Press fi!iiifJllHlll .. 1, then , to com-
pare the current settings with the power-on settings and identify any changed values.
