NOTE
To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical
surges, consider installing a power surge protector.

indicator remains lit.
If an application is loaded in the terminal, it starts after the initial VeriFone

The Omni 5xxx wireless terminal uses an Li-ion smart battery (see
and Documentation for ordering information). The internal logic of the smart
battery prevents both overcharging and undercharging (a fault condition in which
the battery level goes well below the minimum acceptable charge and the battery
becomes unusable).
Note that a new Li-ion battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles.
On initial use, allow the Omni 5xxx smart battery to charge 24 hours, then fully
discharge during normal operation, to ensure reliable battery operation.
The following are features of the smart battery:
•
Two Li-ion cells
•
A fuel gauge module
•
monitors state of charge (voltage and current),
•
communicates with the terminal (charge parameters and alarms to
indicate full discharge),
•
determines full charge capacity (on charge cycle and uninterrupted
discharge cycle), and
•
automatically shuts down when cell voltage is extremely low.
•
A safety circuit
•
prevents cell damage from overcharge/over-discharge,
•
activates when the battery is left in an unused terminal for extended
periods, and
•
resets when battery voltage reaches a preset threshold during the charge
cycle.
Conserve battery power by turning the Omni 5xxx terminal off when not in use. If
the terminal is not to be used for several days, remove the battery from the
terminal as it continues to discharge even when the terminal is turned off.
