To exit the Storage Mode, install the
reader’s Ni-Cad battery pack. Press i/o

When the Boot Loader menu ap-
pears, select Reboot. Press enter to exit
the Storage Mode.
Backup Battery—
A 3.6-volt lithium
battery backs up the BCLST’s memory
and the clock when the Ni-Cad battery
is discharged or removed.
When the backup battery is low, you
should hear a warning “chirp” every
15 seconds for one minute.
To prevent premature discharge of
the lithium battery, replace the main
battery as soon as possible.
The lithium battery can be replaced
only by the BCLST manufacturer. So,
turn the BCLST in to your support
when it needs to be replaced.
If you have questions about mainte-
nance on the BCLST, contact the
Intermec Hotline at 1-800-892-7007.
Or e-mail them at:
support@intermec.com
Suspend Mode—
During times when
the BCLST won’t be used for one to
seven days, insert a fully-charged main
battery in the BCLST. Then place the
BCLST in the Suspend Mode by press-
ing the i/o key. In the Suspend Mode,
the BCLST saves all memory contents
and turns off the power to most of the
unit hardware, including the display
screen.
Storage Mode—
When the Ni-Cad
battery pack charge is low or when
you know you won’t be using the
BCLST for one week or longer, set the
BCLST to Storage Mode and remove
the Ni-Cad battery pack.
To enter the Storage Mode press i/o
to turn off the reader.
Press the F3 key, the 2 key and the
left arrow key simultaneously. If the
reader asks for a password, enter it.
Then press the 2 key again. Press
the i/o key one more time. Press the
down arrow to highlight Storage on
the menu. Press the ENTER key. Now
remove the battery pack.

ntil now it’s been all guesswork. If something went wrong in between your
terminal and the mobile subscriber equipment (MSE) switch, you just scratched
your head and said, “Could be.”
Could be a bad connection. Could be the switch is down. Could be the
terminal is defective. Could be this. Could be that. Now you can change “could
be” to “is” with a loop interface tester, NSN 6625-01-448-8798. The tester takes
the guesswork out of connecting to circuit and packet loops of the MSE system.
This hand-held, battery-operated tester can tell you where your problems are,
whether your four-line wire is a circuit switch telephone loop or a packet switch
data loop, and even give
you your Internet protocol
address.
For more information
on the tester, contact the
CECOM POC at DSN
992-8311 or (732) 532-
8311. Or e-mail them at:
