If you want to work with PPG, please refer to the PPG User’s Guide, included
on the CD that came with your PT40.
Quick Start
The Falcon PT40 comes with an application named PALPRO 4 0 loaded in
memory.
PALPRO40 includes three useful data-collection programs for using
the PT40 without additional programming.
Follow the steps below to begin using the PT40 with
PALPRO 4 0 immediately.
Page references show where to find more information.
1. Fill out and return the registration card enclosed with the unit.
2. Turn the PT40 on by pressing the
<PWR> key. Refer to Turning the PT40
On on page 1-2 for additional information about starting the PT40.
3. Press the
<ENT> key twice to accept the displayed date and time. If nec-
essary, change the date and time settings. (Refer to
Setting the Time and
Date on page 2-5.)

TION/TEST
menu in Figure 2-1 on page 2-2, above.
•Press
<F1> to begin using PAL P RO40.
5. The application requests an update to the date and time again. You can
change them here if necessary. Or, press
<ENT> twice to skip either the
date or the time.
If the PT40 does not turn on when the <PWR> key is pressed, you many need to
recharge the main battery (refer to
Falcon PT40 Batteries starting on page A-1).
If the PT40’s software has been customized, it may operate differently. Check with
a systems administrator for instructions.
