Series 3100/3500 Product Reference Guide
Supercap Power Backup
To prevent data loss during battery replacement, the terminals have a supercap power
backup. The supercap backup provides sufficient power to preserve memory contents
for approximately 5 minutes while batteries are replaced. The supercap does not
provide enough power to operate the terminal. On receiving a low battery message,
replace or recharge the primary batteries immediately.
