VIPER-NET™ 3 USE AND FUNCTIONING The use of the Viper-NET™ terminal depends on the application software loaded. However there are several parameters that can be set and utilities that can be used to perform some basic functions such as bar code scanning, communications, file management, etc. 3.1 TERMINAL STARTUP The Viper-NET™ terminal tums on when the batteries or the external supply are inserted. After the batteries are installed, use the [ON/OFF] key of the trigger bunion to tum on the terminal.
USE AND FUNCTIONING The terminal goes anti power-off (low power with display off), when it is no longer used for more than a programmable timeout, which is defined in the POWER applet of the Control Panel. In this made it can be awakened (resuming operation} by the [ON/OFF] key or a trigger press. The terminal can also be awakened or turned off by the application program. NOTE 3.2 USING THE STYLUS The stylus selects items and enters information. The stylus functions as a mouse.

Therefore the contents of the Backup directory are persistent even if the terminal is re-hooted or the battery is changed. You can save your more important files that you don't want to lose due to terminal reboot, in the Backup directory or create a sub-directory within Backup.
MAINTENANCE, 4 MAINTENANCE Rechargeable battery packs are not initially charged. Therefore the first operation to perform is to charge them. See par. 4.1. NOTE 4.1 CHARGING THE BATTERIES The battery autonomy varies according to factors, such as the frequency of bar code scanning, RF usage, elc. When the batteries are low, the red LED positioned beneath the left lower corner of the display blinks and a warming acoustic signal is emitted.
