OMNI 5XXX INSTALLATION GUIDE 23
When the terminal has power, the terminal display lights and the green LED
indicator remains lit.
If an application is loaded in the terminal, it starts after the initial VeriFone
copyright screen and displays a unique copyright screen. If no application is
loaded in the terminal,
DOWNLOAD NEEDED appears on screen after the initial
VeriFone copyright screen.
Smart Battery
The Omni 5xxx wireless terminal uses an Li-ion smart battery (see Accessories
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).
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.
NOTE
To protect against possible damage caused by lightning strikes and electrical
surges, consider installing a power surge protector.
CAUTION
Note that a new Li-ion batterys 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.
NOTE
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.
