SETTING UP
The FS3 leaves the factory without the battery fitted.
To get a new FS3 started for the first time you
must carry out the following steps:
1. Fit the HUSKY rechargeable battery pack (see
under Replacing the Battery later in this leaflet).
The HUSKY NiCd battery is colour coded black.
The HUSKY NiMH battery is colour coded green.
Caution: For non-rechargeable alkaline batteries
the procedure is different - as shown by the notes
in italics below.
2. Connect the FS3 AC Adaptor, or place the FS3
on the HUSKY FS Communications & Charging
Rack (see Charging the Battery).
Note: If non-rechargeable alkaline batteries are
fitted, skip step 2.
3. Reset the FS3:
• Press and hold down both S (SHIFT) keys.
At the same time, hold down the P (POWER)
key. Hold all three keys down for at least 5
seconds. Release the keys.
4. Starting MS-DOS:
• After a brief delay the FS3 will start; either
displaying the HUSKY FS3 Welcome screen, or
the DOS prompt, C:\>. (Or, if it displays the
message Time and Date reset, press any
key to continue).
• If you are at the Welcome screen, press any
key to start MS-DOS, finally displaying the
DOS prompt, C:\>.
• In case of difficulty, repeat from step 3 above,
being sure to hold the three keys down firmly
for at least 5 seconds.
5. Set the time and date:
• Type UTIL and press E
• This will display the FS3 Utility menu with the
Set Time option selected.
• Press E to choose this option.
• Use G and H to adjust the 'hours'.
• Now use I and J keys to select 'minutes',
and use G and H to adjust.
