Each safety note consists of three elements, the signal word (1), the word message (2) and the safety symbol (3). 1 EN 3 2 Fig.
V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D 1 .1 .1 . Si g n a l wo rd s Signal words inform you about the risk of danger. The risk contains information on how serious injuries are and how probable it is that an injury will occur. A ADANGER The signal word “DANGER” indicates a danger with high risk, which will result in death or severe injury if it is not avoided. A AWARNING The signal word “WARNING” indicates a danger with medium risk, which could result in death or severe injury if it is not avoided.
1 .1 . 2 . Wo rd m es s a g e Information of the word message for personal injury appear in the same order in every safety note. Risk of electric shock • • High voltage at the power supply X X Do not open power supplies You will die or suffer from burns X X Only use undamaged power supplies The word message contains the following information: • You are told what is dangerous. • You are told what endangers you and where the danger is located. • You are told what you must not do.
V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D 1 .1 . 3 . S afe t y sy m b o l s Each safety note contains a safety symbol, which marks the hazard graphically. If no special safety symbol is available, the general safety symbol is used. Safety symbols have the following meaning: Symbol A A a s t 1. 2.

V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D 3. A bou t t his manual This user manual is part of the MobilePad. The user manual must be kept together with MobilePad. When forwarding the MobilePad please forward this manual as well. 3 .1 . Ta rg e t g ro u p This user manual is meant for end users of the MobilePad. 3.2. P u r p os e This user manual informs you about performance and features of the MobilePad. It is meant to inform you about how to start, operate and close down the MobilePad. 3.3.
For this reason, this end user manual contains only the information that applies for all MobilePad POS systems, since the Vectron POS software should be programmed and configured individually for you. This end user manual does not contain information about programming and configuration of the MobilePad POS system. You should have obtained detailed training and documentation, adjusted to your programming and configuration of Vectron POS software, from your Vectron dealer. 3.4.
V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D The “EC Declaration of conformity” certifies the guidelines with which MobilePad complies and according to which standards the MobilePad was built. The “Document revision” registers modifications of the user manual’s content. The chapter “Accessories” informs you about additional products that you can buy and use together with MobilePad. The chapter “Other Vectron products” informs you about other products, which Vectron offers in addition to MobilePad.
4. Speci f ic a t ion This chapter informs you about the features, the technical data and the intended use of MobilePad. MobilePad is a hybrid POS system that consists of two components: MobilePad POS system and MobilePad charging- and docking station. You bought the components separately. Hybrid POS system means that the MobilePad is suitable for mobile as well as for stationary use in the MobilePad charging- and docking station.
V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D The MobilePad POS system can connect to several Access Points. It independently selects the Access Point with the strongest radio signal. Thanks to this function, a large reception- and transmission area can be covered. Your Vectron dealer can check for you whether the MobilePad POS system can be integrated to an existing Wireless LAN. The MobilePad POS system has installed two WiFi antennas to guarantee the best possible reception.
Shipment of the MobilePad POS system includes a battery B40. The lithium ion accumulator provides energy for approx. four hours, depending on ambient conditions and usage. You can insert a second battery B40 to the MobilePad POS system, which prolongs the service life to approx. eight hours. The service life depends for instance on whether Wireless LAN and screen are switched on and whether the power save function is programmed.
V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D 4 . 2 . Ve c tro n P OS s of t wa re The MobilePad POS system is supplied with Vectron POS software, which your Vectron dealer configured and programmed. All Vectron POS systems use the same software. The GUI can be adjusted individually to the different screen sizes of the stationary and mobile POS systems. The functions that can be used with the installed Vectron POS software depend on the applied software version, configuration and programming of the MobilePad POS system.
4.3. M o b i l e Pa d ch a rg i n g - a n d d o cki n g s t a ti o n The MobilePad charging- and docking station serves for charging B40 batteries and for connecting peripherals like eg printers, customer displays and cash drawers to the MobilePad POS system.
V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D The MobilePad charging- and docking station has a port to which you can connect the cash drawers. Using a Y-cable you can connect up to two cash drawers. The Kensington-port serves for connecting an anti-theft device, protecting the MobilePad charging- and docking station against theft by means of a lock and a wire rope. An operator lock is mounted to the housing of the MobilePad POS system.
4.4. Us e a s d i re c te d The MobilePad POS system may be used as hybrid POS system. The MobilePad charging- and docking station may be used for charging B40 batteries, for connecting approved external devices and in connection with the MobilePad POS system as stationary POS system. Use the supplied cable with safety plug to connect the MobilePad charging- and docking station and power supply Vectron PS30 to a grounded socket. Using other power supplies and cables is not as directed.
V E C T RON P O S MOBIL EPA D You should protect yourself against undesired changes of the above mentioned parts of programming. This can be achieved by using operator keys, RFID cards and passwords. Each operator should be assigned his required authorization in the rights table of the POS system. Operator keys and RFID cards, which enable these rights, must exclusively be accessible to the respective operators. The passwords must exclusively be known by the respective operators.
MobilePad POS system, MobilePad charging- and docking station, power supply Vectron PS30 and B40 batteries must exclusively be operated under ambient conditions as described in chapter 4.5. “Technical data” on page 30. Using the components in other ambient conditions is not as directed. The MobilePad charging- and docking station must not be set up and used in the open. The touch screen must exclusively be touched with touch pen or fingers.
