Warning: This equipment generates, uses,
and
can
radiate radio frequency energy
and
if
not
installed
and
used
in
accordance with the instruction manual,
may
cause interference to
radio
communications.
It
has been tested
and
found to
comply with the limits for aClass Acomputing device
pursuant
to
Subpart
J
of
Part
15
of

Rules, which are designed
to
provide reasonable protection
against such interference when operated
in

of
this
equipment
in
aresidential area is likely
to
cause interference
in
which case
the user
at
his own expense will be required to take whatever measures
may
be
required
to
correct the interference.
CAUTION
When the video element requires disposal,
do
not handle
it
as normal
trash, because the video element contains alithium battery (3 V, 180
mAh,
ULI
recognized component or equivalent). The lithium battery
contains about 70 mg
of
lithium and can be harmful to people and
may explode
if
not properly used, handled, or disposed of, such as; (1)
thrown into water, (2) overheated· to more than 100°C (212°F), or (3)
attempting to recharge, repair, or disassemble. When disposing the
video element, follow your company's safety procedures or local
procedures, which defines the disposal
of
such items.

Introduction
Chapter 1. Introducing the IBM
3151
The IBM
3151
is
an
ASCII Display Station used for entering
data
into
or
retrieving
data
from ahost system. The display station can be connected to
both
IBM
and
non-IBM systems.
The IBM
3151
consists of; avideo element, akeyboard, acartridge, and astand
(accessory) as shown
in
Figure
1-1.
The U.S. English machine does
not
use acartridge for its operation in native
(IBM 3151)
or
built-in emulation modes.
An
optional cartridge can be inserted
into the rear
of
the video element to emulate other manufacturers' display
terminals, whose emulations are
not
built-in.
The national language models always rt'quire anational language cartridge
fo~
operations
in
both
native
and
IBM
3101
~mulation
modes. The national language
cartridges can display characters in their countries' languages.

Introduction
Models
Three models are available for the IBM 3151:
11,31,
and
41.
Note: Model numbers will be suffixed by
an
alphanumeric character, which
defines the type
of
language, for example.
In
this guide, the suffix is omitted for
model numbers.
Models
31
and
41
differ only in the color
of
the characters displayed
on
the
screen. Characters are displayed in green for Models
11
and
31
while they are
displayed
in
amber-gold for the Model
41.
The following figure shows the differences in functions between the Model
11
and
Models
31
and
41
(in the figure, 'yes' means the function is provided
and
'no'
me_ans
the function is
not
provided).
Note: Some models
may
not
be available
in
your county. Ask your IBM
representative in the
IBM
branch office serving your locality,
or
your place
of
purchase, for the available models.

Introduction
IBM
3151
Display Station
This section describes the video element
and
the keyboard
of
the
IBM
3151.
Video Element
The video element, which also supplies power
to
the keyboard, is used
to
display
data
sent from the host system
or
data
entered from the keyboard. .
The
video element controls the
IBM
3151
functions
and
communications.
It
has
akeyboard connector
on
the front side,
and
connectors for communications
and
an
optional device (such as aprinter)
on
the rear side.
It
also has the cartridge
slot
at
the rear side. r
The
optional stand, which enables the adjustments
of
tilt
and
swivel for the video
element,
can
be ordered.
Figure
1-3
shows the locations
of
the controls, indicators,
and
connectors

the
video element.

Guide to Operations
Keyboard
Introduction
The keyboard is used to enter data
and
perform various functions. You can also
enter some host commands from the keyboard. Adjustable legs located
at
the
rear
of
the keyboard allow you to change the keyboard angle for operating
comfort.
Akeyboard overlay (GXI8-2143) is provided to make the use
of
the function keys
easier when the keys are redefined. You can also replace the key caps (IBM
3151
Models
31
and
41
only) with the accessory key caps (key caps are shipped with
some emulation cartridges
or
may be ordered separately from IBM).
The keyboard for the Model
11
provides the numeric lock function for easier data
input, instead
of
the numeric keypad. The replaceable key-caps and line-drawing
symbols are
not
used for this keyboard.
