Follett Remote” guide you through collecting copy and patron
barcodes outside of your circulation system. Follett Remote
records the information in data files that you later upload to your
circulation system.
Getting started
If you've just received your Follett Panther, make certain your package
contains everything on the enclosed packing list.
Managing the batteries
Once you've verified that you have everything you need, you'll first need
to charge the batteries.
The Panther has two types of battery power: The main battery pack on
the back panel, and the backup battery located inside the Panther.
Both batteries work together to prevent data loss when you use the
Panther over long periods of time.
You must charge both batteries to full capacity before using the
Panther for the first time.
Inserting and removing the main battery pack
To insert a battery pack, (1) place the end of the battery without the
locking tab into the bottom of the charging pocket and (2) snap the
battery into place with a hinging motion.
Important:
If you're removing or re-installing a battery pack, make sure
the Panther is turned off:
Press the Blue
+ Backlight
keys, or tap
(Start) >
Suspend
.
To remove a battery pack, push the locking tab down and pull the
battery away from the charging slot with a hinging motion.
