Power
This chapter discusses the different ways of powering up and conserving power
on e355.
Charging
The e355 supports multiple charging schemes as follows:
Side Micro-USB Port This charging method charges e355 device only when power is attached to the
Only
side Micro-USB port of e355. This is true even when connecting to this port while
attached to frame in Mobile PINpad mode with smart device attached to e355.
With the exception of iPod 6 frame, where sequential charging to e355 and iPod is
allowed through this port.

Simultaneous

This charging method is specific to Mobile PINpad mode, and charges e355 and
smart device at the same time. Power supply needs to be connected to barrel
connector or charging pins or Micro-USB connector located on bottom of iPod 6
frame, whichever is available and your preference of power supply connection.
Sequential (Only on This charging method is also specific to Mobile PINpad mode and charges one
iPod 6 Frame)
device at a time. For example, it will charge e355 first and then the smart device
second. A Micro-USB charging cable needs to be attached to side Micro-USB port
for sequential charging.
NOTE
This charging scheme is only supported for iPod 6 frame.
To enable sequential charging, set configuration variable *CHARGEHOST to non-
zero value, default value is 0 for this variable, with range of 0-100 (in battery
percentage level). The e355 charges to battery level specified by *CHARGEHOST
configuration variable before switching to iPod charging.
Another configuration variable that's used is *IPODCHARGETIME which is used to
specify iPod charge time. Default value is 90 minutes, and range of 0 to 12*60 (in
minutes). After expiration of iPod charge time, charge switches back to e355 and
remains with e355 until Micro-USB cable is disconnected. A value of 0 disables
charge switch back to e355 and continuously charges the iPod until Micro-USB
power is disconnected. Sequential charge sequence starts again every time
power is applied to side Micro-USB port i.e, e355 charges to *CHARGEHOST level
and then iPod charges for *IPODCHARGETIME.
