Getting Started; Inserting A Compact Flash Card - Symbol PDT8138 Quick Reference Manual

Getting Started

Before you can use your PDT 8138, perform these basic setup procedures:
• Install the antenna packaged with the terminal by screwing it into the antenna
receptacle on the top of the terminal.
• Insert the Compact Flash card (optional).
• Install and charge the battery.
• Start the PDT 8138.
• Initiate the network connection.

Inserting a Compact Flash Card

The PDT 8138 contains a slot for a standard compact flash card, which includes a locking
mechanism that prevents the card from coming loose if the PDT 8138 is dropped. Insert the
compact flash card carefully to ensure it engages this locking mechanism.
1. Open the battery door and remove the battery.
2. Remove the flash card
cover at the top of the
battery compartment by
pulling the top out, and
lifting the cover up.
3. Insert the flash card
into the compartment
with the pins facing forward, and the main label facing down. It only fits one way. The
two metal tabs on the locking mechanism will
prevent you from pushing the card all the way in.
4. To fit the card into place, push down and in at
the same time, so that the lip of the compact
flash card slips under the tabs of the locking
mechanism.
5. Replace the flash card cover by inserting the
bottom first, and pressing the top in. Note: After
you insert or remove a compact flash card, you must replace the flash card cover or the
terminal will not function.
6. Reinsert the battery and battery door.
7. Perform a soft reset (see
