WARNING
NOTE
To connect the
terminal power pack
After installing the battery on your VX 520-G terminal, connect the power pack to
the unit for at least 6 hours or until fully charged.
The smart battery has a safety circuit to protect the Li-ion cells from overcharging
and over-discharging. If the battery is over-discharged, the safety circuit shuts
down the battery. The battery must then be recharged to restore operation.
The VX 520-G terminal automatically shuts off when the smart battery reaches
the critically low charge state. If this occurs, the smart battery must be recharged
for a minimum of 1/2 hour before it can power the terminal. It may take several
recharge attempts to reset the safety circuit when charging a smart battery that
has been discharged below this critical state.
Battery Life
The VX 520-G smart battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times,
but will eventually wear out. When operating times are noticeably shorter than
usual, it is time to buy a new battery (see
ordering information).
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. Li-ion batteries must be recycled or disposed
of properly. Do not dispose of Li-ion batteries in municipal waste sites.
When you have finished connecting optional peripherals, you are ready to
connect the VX 520-G terminal to the provided power source.
Using an incorrectly rated power supply may damage the terminal or cause it not
to work as specified. Before troubleshooting, ensure that the power supply being
used to power the terminal matches the requirements specified on the bottom of
the terminal. (See
Chapter
specifications.) Obtain the appropriately rated power supply before continuing with
troubleshooting.
Plugging in the power pack to a power source automatically turns on the terminal.
