Thank you. The five characters are:

"A" <ESC> "/" "B" "C"

The output on later terminals in VT52 mode is "AC", but from reading the
maintenance manual I suspect that a VT52 will output "ABC".

To set the terminal up for local operation, tip the unit up on its rear.
Notice the two rotary switches. Use a screwdriver or coin to turn S1
(the one on the right) to its most counterclockwise position, Position
1. Turn the other switch, S2, its most clockwise position, and then
counterclockwise one position. This is Position G.

Cheers,
Paul
