Charging the Backup Battery
The backup battery backs up all memory and the real-time clock in case of a power
failure. The backup battery is shipped inside the terminal, but may not be fully charged.
You need to fully charge the backup battery after you install the terminal.
The terminal continuously monitors the backup battery voltage level and charges the
backup battery whenever the voltage level gets low. You can operate the terminal while
the backup battery is charging.
To charge the backup battery
1. Make sure the power supply is connected to the terminal and a powered electrical
outlet.
2. Let the power supply charge the backup battery for 24 hours to fully charge the
backup battery.
Note: For more information about the backup battery, see "Learning About the Power
Supply and Backup Battery" in Chapter 1.
