Using the Nomad Handheld
4-30 N_SIGHT R900 User’s Manual for the Neptune Handheld System
Turning On and Off the Nomad
This section explains how to turn the handheld on and off, and then how
to sign on to access the screens needed to complete meter reading tasks.
Whenever the handheld is in a communi
cation cradle, it is on.
This is
because, when connected properly, the cradle supplies power. However,
once the handheld is taken out of the cradle, the unit runs on its battery.
When powered by the battery, you can manually turn on the handheld
and you can turn it off automatically or manually.
Use the following procedures to turn the handheld on or to turn it off
man
ually.
Turning the Nomad On
Turn on the Nomad Handheld by pressing and releasing the
button. The Nomad shows a menu, data-entry, or message screen
depending upon the last act
ivity performed with the unit.
One of the most convenient features is su
spend/re
sume. There is no
waiting for the unit to boot up every time it is turned on. (This does not
occur the first time the unit is powered ON.)
Turning the Nomad Off
Manually turn off the handheld by pressing and holding down the
button for five seconds, then release. Choose Shut Down. The
display goes blank indicating that the handheld is off.
A message indicating low battery can appear on the battery LED located on
right side of the unit. For a new Nomad, be sure to connect the plug to the
power cord and attach to the power supply. The unit will be charged in about
4.5 hours. Neptune recommends that you fully charge the unit prior to your
first use.
