    This will almost certainly result in serious damage to the motherboard and possibly to the peripheral as well. If either selecting the wrong voltage or removing the connectors while the devices are powered damages ANY peripheral device or the DigiPoS, a charge may be applied by PC-PoS for any repairs necessary.

    (RI) signal. The Ring Indicator is the signal the modem gives to the DigiPoS to tell the software that someone is trying to connect to it. The RI signal is normally found on pin 9 of the d-type connectors and as this is the pin that is used to supply power to the peripherals it is necessary to replace the internal cable connection to the selected port.
  • Page 37: Typical Voltage Requirements

    Overloading of the voltages is not recommended and can render the DigiPoS inoperable or may even permanently damage circuitry within the DigiPoS. Overloading of any of the Voltages will void all warranties, either on the DigiPoS or any connected peripherals. If any permanent damage occurs, charges will apply for any repairs necessary.
